Annual 3 day morning-till night environmental film festival
A brief description of the second program/initiative/accomplishment:
JJC has held an annual - day morning till night environmental film festival in the college's 300 seat Student dining Hall since 2014. (The 2020 annual festival was cancelled due to COVID). Students help plan and staff the festival. Faculty bring their classes, and give extra credit to students who attend on their own. Many attendees just happen to be there eating. Snacks are provided.

Films are specially shown to be of interest to all of the class disciplines who are attending.

Underrepresented Groups
A brief description of the third program/initiative/accomplishment:
John Jay has provided generations of students, many from traditionally underrepresented groups, with a quality education that has enabled them to obtain undergraduate and advanced degrees and meaningful careers. 65% of our students are Pell Grant recipients, 51% are Latinx, 16% are Black, 15% White, 11% Asian, and the remaining 7% are Native American, of 2 or more races, or non-resident alien. The College embraces its important role of serving minorities, dreamers and immigrant students as they pursue higher education. For this reason, we take pride in our institutional identity, which includes being a Hispanic-Serving Institution and a Minority-Serving Institution.
