From City College to the Senate Floor
The Moynihan Center is inspired by Senator Daniel Patrick Moynihan, whose celebrated career traversed the academy, government, and the media, but originated at The City College of New York.
About the Moynihan Center
The Moynihan Center advances the twin goals of public scholarship and public service, cultivating leaders who cross the boundaries between critical thinking, public service practice, and popular communication.
Moynihan Fellowships
Moynihan Center Fellowships offer robust support to early-to-mid-career professionals and undergraduates, catalyzing innovative thinking in public affairs and novel careers in public service.
Moynihan Center Events
The Moynihan Center hosts a rich program of public-facing events that engage the campus, the City, and a broader intellectual community in open dialogue and debate.
There is a more powerful connection than people think between the world of ideas and the world of practical politics.
Daniel Patrick Moynihan
