Longtime educator Alex Ramadanis has earned two master’s degrees from Touro College in New York City. For nearly two decades, Alex Ramadanis has taught as an adjunct professor at Queens College, a member of the City University of New York (CUNY) system.

Culminating a year-long search for a new chancellor after the resignation of James Milliken, CUNY selected Queens College president Dr. Felix Matos Rodriguez to take the position. Before he joined Queens College in 2014, Dr. Matos Rodriguez was the president of Eugenio María de Hostos Community College, another school in the CUNY system.

During the tenure of Dr. Matos Rodriguez, retention rates at Hostos Community College skyrocketed, and Queens College was recognized as a leader in the promotion of economic mobility among its students from low-income backgrounds.

In his new role as Chancellor, Dr. Matos Rodriguez will oversee more than a dozen higher learning institutions that serve a diverse population of over a quarter of a million students.
