Our September classes have generated a lot of excitement from the 37 new Labor Studies M.A. students, as they make new friends and get immersed in their classes.
Here is a comment from one student:
"For me this is a tremendous opportunity for those of us who are committed to the labor movement and the empowerment of all workers. I highly recommend this program which is developing the innovative labor leaders of today and tomorrow!" - Damon, Local 1199 staff
With exceptional faculty and lecturers, and CUNY's relatively modest tuition, this is certainly one of the finest Labor Studies Programs in the country.
We appreciate your help in publicizing the Masters in Labor Studies program.
In addition, if you can help arrange a meeting with your union's leadership or members, or any organization, please let us know.
Thank you.
Best regards,
Laurie Kellogg
Labor Studies Program Coordinator
