Communications From the Senior Vice President for Finance and Administration

September 10, 2020

Dear Brooklyn College Community,

I hope everyone is having a productive start to the fall 2020 semester as we all traverse these unprecedented and challenging times. I am writing to provide updates to the campus community.

Campus Reentry Plan

As you know, the safety of the entire campus community and their loved ones is our top priority. While most of the learning, teaching, and work will continue to be done remotely this semester to minimize risk during the pandemic, some individuals will be allowed access to campus due to the essential work they must do (e.g., engineers, campus safety, custodians, trades, central routing, mailroom), the approved research they are conducting, or the occasional onsite meetings of the approved hybrid courses they are teaching or taking. We have developed a detailed campus reentry plan based on New York State and CUNY guidelines. If you have any questions or comments, please let me know.

E-Mail Safety

We continue to experience a significant number of cyber attacks. Just because an e-mail message looks like it came from someone you know does not mean that it did. Many e-mail messages have spoofed senders, making it look like the message came from someone else. We have created an information page on our website to provide guidance on how to identify the e-mail address of the actual sender. If you are unsure if an e-mail is safe, e-mail bc-infosec@brooklyn.cuny.edu or call ITS Network Support at 718.951.4357. It is always better to ask before clicking on an unknown link in an e-mail.

Construction on Campus

After a short pause at the start of the pandemic, we were able to resume some of our capital projects. One significant project is the restoration of the historic library tower and cupola that anchors the campus. The design is based on the original drawings. Work is also being done on the Ingersoll Hall Extension roof to address leaks. Less visible, but equally important, is the infrastructure work being done on our chillers, pipes, and pumps.

Moving Forward

One of my top priorities is to communicate to our campus community about ongoing efforts within Finance and Administration. We will be starting regular Zoom Town Halls this month. The first one will be on September 17 at 1 p.m. Register here. After registering, you will receive a confirmation e-mail containing information about joining the meeting.

Looking forward to working with everyone during the fall 2020 semester.

Sincerely yours,

Alan S. Gilbert
Senior Vice President for Finance and Administration
