“Our diversity if our strength. We all benefit when everybody has the opportunity to succeed.”
There’s no college anywhere in the world quite like John Jay.
It’s a special place where everyone—first-generation students, working students, immigrants, parents and
veterans—can transform their lives with a justice-focused education.
As President of John Jay College, I’ve made student success my number one priority. And, I know that everyone in our community is focused on giving our students the opportunities and resources they need to achieve their academic dreams and become tomorrow’s leaders.
My promise to you is that at John Jay you’ll be supportedand challenged. You’ll see things from a new perspective. And, you’ll be a “fierce advocate for justice.”
—President Karol V. Mason
