Meet Urban Studies Graduates

Stella the Grizzly, GCC's mascot

Currently enrolled at Queens College, CUNY, with a double-major in History and Education, Emily Michalak ’19 plans to become a secondary school social studies teacher and to work at a Polish school. As an Urban Studies major at Guttman, she found that the Urban Studies Research Seminar prepared her thoroughly for senior college and would like to give a big shout-out to Drs. Makris and Allen for teaching her so much she can pass on to her future students. The highlight of her Urban Studies journey was working with a non-profit organization known as New York City Alliance for School Integration and Desegregation (nycASID) in the Introduction to Urban Studies course.

Raliek Gholson

Upon graduating from Guttman, Raliek Gholson ‘17 attended Hunter College, CUNY, where he completed his B.A. in 2019. He was the first person in Hunter’s 150-year history to receive a Bachelor’s degree in Urban Studies, with a minor in Community Organizing. Raliek had the honor of sitting behind Hilary Clinton on the stage at Hunter’s Commencement and presenting a gift from the College to Senator Chuck Schumer. At Guttman, Raliek particularly enjoyed making new connections with the history of urban public policy through exploring New York City and fieldwork. He learned not only to navigate the complex systems of the city, but also gained crucial interpersonal and professional skills that prepared him for the next steps at Hunter, securing an internship in his first semester after transfer, and later gaining employment from his host site, Pratt Area Community Council (IMPACCT Brooklyn).
