CUNY ID Opens Doors to Prestigious Cultural Institutions!
A new program, CUNY Arts, will vastly expand opportunities for Queensborough Community College and other CUNY ID holders to connect with the arts in New York City.
The initiative has multiple components:
- Many of the city’s most prestigious cultural venues will provide free admission or suggested admission prices to CUNY students, faculty and staff
- Academic courses at CUNY campuses will be augmented through wider access to performances and cultural exhibitions, and to the individuals who make those events happen
- New degree and certificate programs will be designed to provide CUNY students with skills and education that match the employment needs of the cultural institutions
- Cultural organizations will provide dozens of paid internships to CUNY students, thereby creating job and career opportunities
