Adrienne Adams: “Initially we put forth a couple of years ago, $1.5 million…”

“So the initiative that I created, CUNY Reconnect, brings in students that have some college credits, but for whatever reason, were not able to finish to get their degrees. So Initially we put forth a couple of years ago, $1.5 million to, you know, to take care of students that wanted to come in. I thought I would get maybe 10,000 DOL. Maybe 14,000 students. Errol, as of right now, as we sit in and talk today, there are almost 50,000 re enrolled students in CUNY.” (12:45–12:54)
