Dear Members of the Hunter College Community:

I am delighted to inform you that on Monday, September 10, Mayor Michael Bloomberg will hold a press conference to announce our joint project with Memorial Sloan Kettering Cancer Center (MSKCC) to build a new science and health professions building for Hunter College along with a new facility for MSKCC. Both buildings will be located on a site at 73rd Street and the FDR Drive. This joint venture represents more than a real estate transaction, but a deep and growing partnership among our two great Upper East Side institutions. It also represents Hunter’s enduring commitment to excellence in research and teaching in the sciences and health. In a few years’ time, Hunter scientists and health professionals will be conducting research and training students in world-class facilities, alongside colleagues from some of the world’s finest academic medical centers.

We wanted to share this exciting news with you as soon as possible. We will be providing you with more details as they become available, and consulting with you extensively as we move forward in our planning. We will provide a link to the news conference on our website as soon as we can.

I want to thank you all for your support of this project, and for the many collaborations and partnerships that inspired it and will animate it.

Best wishes,

Jennifer J. Raab
President
