COVID-19 PROTOCOL FOR CAMPUS VISITORS
<\/span><\/b>City University of New York policy requires visitors to present ID and either proof of vaccination or a negative COVID PCR test from an accredited entity dated within seven days at the entrances to campus.<\/span><\/p>\n
<\/span><\/b>Both Queens College of the City University of New York and Lucy Cavendish College of the University of Cambridge in the United Kingdom are committed to serving underrepresented students from low-income and often marginalized communities. The proposed study abroad program aims to provide such Queens College graduates with opportunities that will help unlock their potential as they pursue a graduate degree, supporting their ambitions for careers with leading firms, not-for-profit organizations, or as entrepreneurs. This aligns with <\/span>Queens College\u2019s mission to prepare students\u2014who speak 96 native languages and identify with 133 ancestries\u2014to serve as innovative leaders in a diverse world that they make more equitable and inclusive. <\/a>Similarly, Lucy Cavendish College seeks to broaden the experience of Queens College graduates by immersing them in its outstanding academic and research programs alongside its diverse student population, which represents more than 80 countries.<\/p>\n
<\/b>Queens College enjoys a national reputation for its liberal arts and sciences and pre-professional programs. With its graduate and undergraduate degrees, honors programs, and research and internship opportunities, the college helps its students realize their potential in countless ways, assisted by an accessible, award-winning faculty. Located on a beautiful, 80-acre campus in Flushing, the college has been cited by Princeton Review as one of America\u2019s Best Value Colleges for five consecutive years, as well as being ranked a\u00a0U.S. News and World Report<\/i>\u00a0Best College and\u00a0Forbes<\/i>\u00a0Magazine Best Value College thanks to its outstanding academics, generous financial aid packages, and relatively low costs. Visit our\u00a0homepage<\/a><\/span>\u00a0to learn more\u200b.<\/p>\n
<\/u><\/i><\/b>Lucy Cavendish College<\/a><\/span> is the fastest growing and most diverse of the 31 constituent colleges within the University of Cambridge in the United Kingdom.\u00a0 The College\u2019s mission is to unlock the potential of exceptional students from non-traditional and underrepresented backgrounds who are driven by a desire to make a difference and who are committed to having a positive and lasting impact on society.\u00a0 Founded in 1965, the College is named in honor of Lucy Cavendish, a leading 19th<\/sup> century activist for the reform of women’s education. Originally an institution that transformed the life chances of mature women, the College decided to open those opportunities to students of all ages in 2020 and all genders in 2021. The College is truly a dynamic, inclusive and supportive global community with international students from 80 countries making up a significant proportion of the student population.<\/p>\n
