Today Senator Serrano attended the opening of the Hunter College’s Louis V. and Samuel J. Silberman School of Social Work Building. The building, located in the East Harlem community, houses the CUNY School of Public Health, the library and archives of the Center for Puerto Rican Studies, the Brookdale Center for Healthy Aging and Longevity, and the Graduate Center Apartments.

"It is great for a  building of this magnitude to be in the East Harlem community", said Senator Serrano. "Hunter College has one of the top social work programs in the nation, and having their main facility in East Harlem will be a great addition to the neighborhood. The services they offer will  undoubtedly bring much-needed resources into our community.”

The event was attended by Louis Silberman, elected officials, and the CUNY and Hunter College faculty and staff.
