Stanford acts on Bloomberg call for world-class science schools

The Stanford University-City University of New York collaboration at City College (Stanford@CCNY) was announced on 11 October in response to New York mayor Michael Bloomberg’s call to strengthen the city’s economy by creating world-class applied science and engineering schools there.

“Joining East and West Coast resources in an innovative new arrangement, Stanford@CCNY has the potential to offer the students and faculties of both universities transformative opportunities to partner at the undergraduate, graduate and post-doctorate level and would provide start-up space for Stanford’s proposed applied science campus,” said the joint announcement of the collaboration.
