September 11, 2023

Twenty-two years ago, on September 11, 2001, the world looked on in shock and horror as devastating loss was inflicted on our country and our city. In the tragic events of that day, one of our students, one faculty member, and at least two alumni were taken from us. In moments forever etched in time, the City Tech community provided aid and comfort to those who came streaming across the Brooklyn Bridge seeking safety.

We pause to honor the memory of all those lost on September 11, on the 22nd anniversary. Included among them, our very own:

Charles Mauro, AAS in Hotel and Restaurant Management; Instructor (1988)

Yvette Anderson, posthumously awarded B.Tech. in Hospitality Management (2002)

William Valcarcel, AAS in Accounting (1967)

Yuk-Ping Wong, AAS in Accounting (1983)
