Hunter College and Envoy Events Calender

The Envoy’s Instagram

Netflix’s Best of the Best sparked a conversation about cultural spaces and belonging on campus. In our latest opinion piece, we explore the importance of clubs and community spaces at a commuter school like Hunter College. Survivors and advocates raised concerns over the Mamdani administrations decision to move ENDGBV under the newly created Office of Community Safety, calling for greater survivor involvement and continued attention to domestic and gender-based violence. Keeping Up with The Envoy is back! Check out what’s going on around Hunter this Fall 🤩🍂 From Hunter College to shaping NYC’s future. This summer one of our culture reporters participated in the study abroad program for the course News Literacy In a Digital Age in London. Throughout her time abroad she reflected on not only media literacy but how the experience abroad changed her. Hunter Sociology Professor discusses his new book, “Lobbying and the Making of American Oligarchy” at Roosevelt House. In this presentation he talks about the role of lobbying in shaping American politics and power. Orthodox Jewish students, parents and teachers gathered outside Gracie Mansion on Sept. 18 for a prayer vigil addressing Mayor Zohran Mamdani’s stance on Israel. But members of the Jewish community pushed back, arguing the event could be interpreted as a political protest. This new converse ad is sparking debates regarding marketing strategies and racist tactics. The Envoy interviewed CUNY students on their perspective. Sydney Sweeney’s latest ad has sparked a conversation about sexualization, sports and gambling.
