About this ebook
Everyone loves an underdog who succeeds against the odds. CCNY Made. Profiles in Grit is the story of City College of New York alumni who beat the odds to reach the pinnacle of their professions and in the process transformed our world.
Here are just a few:
In "CCNY Made. Profiles In Grit," the stories of CCNY alumni are recounted who exemplify the promise of Townsend Harris, founder of CCNY and The Ephebic Oath affirmed by graduating students every year. "We will strive unceasingly to quicken the public's better, of civic duty; and thus, in all these ways we will strive to transmit this city not only not less, but greater, better and more beautiful than it was transmitted to us."
Ronnyjane Goldsmith
In 2021, Ronnyjane Goldsmith--public servant, entrepreneur and philanthropist--added author to her moniker with the publication of Temple Made: Profiles in Grit . She now announces the publication of a new must-read book, CCNY Made: Profiles in Grit . Like the alumni she profiles, Goldsmith (BA, MA, PhD) began life at the bottom and found success through luck and determination but most importantly grit. The proceeds from CCNY Made are dedicated to the Delancey Street Fund. Established by Goldsmith in 2018, the Delancey Street Fund is named after the street of the same name in New York City that gave immigrants to America a chance for a better life. The fund provides assistance to students without financial resources who are facing catastrophic life events.
