Special Thanks

The Ad/PR Program sincerely thanks Mira Steinzor, design and production director for the annual newsletter / blog. Always approaching her duties with a warm smile and elegant execution to detail, we always know all images and copy are presented in a way that positively reflects our talented students, Alumni and valued industry partners. A graduate of CCNY’s MFA Film Program, Mira’s talent and creativity are unmatched.

We also would like to thank our MCA Administrators, Lakeisha Mathis and

David Ranghelli, who ensure undergraduate operations run smoothly from the time students enter the Ad/PR Program until graduation.

And, we value the unwavering leadership of MCA Chair Jerry Carlson, Humanities and The Arts Dean Erec Koch, Deputy Dean Renatta Kobbets Miller, Academic Advisors Melissa Oden and Ray Strom, Budget Director Moe Liu A’lbrero, Administrator Maria Olmedo and the entire campus and community circles of support who guide and mentor young communicators as they seek and embrace new levels of achievement.

Our program would not exist without the commitment and dedication of our faculty, who valiantly educate on the front lines, bringing energy and insight to students in the classroom or via Zoom. We commend the contributions of our adjunct Ad/PR All Star Professors, who have gone above and beyond during this extended season of remote learning, helping students navigate unique challenges.
