Marymount Manhattan College is a coeducational, independent, private college located in Manhattan, New York City. The mission of the College is to educate a socially and economically diverse student body by fostering intellectual achievement and personal growth and by providing opportunities for career development. Enrollment consists of 1640 undergraduates, with women making up 76.1% and men 23.9%.HistoryDirectly from the college's website:Since 1961, Marymount Manhattan has been an independent, private college open to all creeds, while noting its foundation by the Religious of the Sacred Heart of Mary. While the college no longer described itself as Catholic, the Catholic Church continued to list it in the Catholic Directory until 2005. Unaware that the college did not claim to be a Catholic school, the Cardinal Newman Society protested the college's announcement of its decision to invite then-Senator Hillary Clinton to deliver a commencement address and to confer an honorary doctoral degree upon her, due to Senator Clinton's longtime public support for abortion rights. In response to the protests and without objection by the college, it was de-listed from "The Official Catholic Directory," which identifies Catholic institutions.In 1976, Finch College, a women's college best known as a "finishing school" for affluent young women, closed and passed its records over to the school. The school was most famous for educating Tricia Nixon Cox, daughter of former US President Richard Nixon.

The Kosciuszko Foundation: The American Center of Polish Culture Founded in 1925 by Stephen Mizwa, the Kosciuszko Foundation promotes closer ties between Poland and the United States through educational, scientific and cultural exchanges. It awards up to $1 million annually in fellowships and grants to graduate students, scholars, scientists, professionals, and artists, and promotes Polish culture in America. The Foundation has awarded scholarships and provided a forum to Poles who have changed history. Over the years the Kosciuszko Foundation has added honorary trustees to its board, such as Zbigniew Brzezinski, Czeslaw Milosz, Andrzej Wajda, Krzysztof Penderecki, and also provided medals of recognition to people such as Artur Rubinstein, Norman Davies, Ryszard Kapuscinski, Rafal Olbinski, Dr. Maria Siemionow, and other distinguished Poles who have performed or lectured at the foundation. This elaborate network has been part of the foundation's success. Young Poles and Polish-Americans are uniquely poised to change the world, not just through humanities and the arts, but through the sciences, technology, and business as well. But it takes money to finance their dreams through education. With scholarships, they can become the leaders of tomorrow. For the 21st century, the Kosciuszko Foundation wants to build on the examples set by Kosciuszko and Mizwa, but we need your help to do it. The Kosciuszko Foundation can only continue its activities supporting Polish culture and awarding scholarships if we receive support from people like you.

Eleni's Pop of Color ("EPOC") is a non-profit outreach program providing scarves to patients undergoing active chemotherapy treatment. EPOC was born out of a desire to provide those enduring the difficulties of chemotherapy with a little bit of comfort in very uncomfortable times. The program was first conceived by Eleni Vavas, a physician, wife, mother, daughter, sister and most importantly a self-proclaimed "cancer fighter". As Eleni persevered through chemo treatments, she struggled with the realities of the side effects that chemotherapy caused. Eleni started wearing scarves, mostly around her neck to cover her mediport, draw people's attention away from her short hair, provide a bit of extra warmth as she struggled to maintain her weight and most importantly as she put it "to add a little pop of color". She always said that she was comforted by how the scarves made her feel. While undergoing treatments, Eleni began working with hospital administrators at North Shore University Hospital to create EPOC. It was Eleni's desire that others going through chemotherapy would be able to enjoy that same bit of comfort she felt when she wrapped herself in those scarves. To continue Eleni’s legacy and vision, EPOC continues its outreach within the North Shore/LIJ Health System. An EPOC scarf is much more than just an accessory. It serves as a badge of honor and as a reminder of the unbreakable human spirit and unwavering strength of the soul within. Almost equally as important is the hope that each EPOC scarf will inspire discussions and promote awareness. *EPOC is sponsored by The Eleni Vavas Memorial Fund which received tax exempt status 501 (c)(3) in September 2015.

Encouraging and supporting LGBTQA high school students to work to change their school environments through leadership opportunities and workshops in schools. Sharing our research findings through conferences and publications. Challenging the dominant LGBTQ bullying discourse- It's not about "bad" kids who bully. It's about a culture that targets gender and sexual difference for marginalization and ridicule and implicitly gives permission to target LGBTQ kids. We address these issues through critical sociology of education using the critical theory approach of Phil Carspecken (1996).
The Knickerbocker Greys, founded in 1881, is the oldest after school activity for boys and girls ages 6 to 16. Cadets are afforded opportunities over the years to develop their character, confidence, perseverance, social skills, and problem solving in a manner unlike any other found in New York City and likely the country. The group’s name was derived from the original uniform’s knee-length pants that were known as "knickerbockers,” and the color of the dress uniform, “Cadet Grey.” Over 4,500 New Yorkers have been members of the Knickerbocker Grey Cadet Corps over the past 134 years, including Nelson and David Rockefeller, Douglas Fairbanks, Jr., Pierpont Morgan Hamilton, Cornelius Vanderbilt Jr., John Lindsay, and Lowell Thomas. Today, the Greys are a part of living history and still proudly drill at the landmarked Seventh Regiment Armory on Park Avenue at 66th Street. Boys and girls from a diverse cross section of public, private and parochial schools throughout New York City have participated in the Knickerbocker Greys. Confidence building starts the first day of drill. The main focus of each weekly meeting, led by a lieutenant colonel in the U.S. Army Reserve and his young officers, is to instill in each cadet a sense of self-discipline, leadership, compassion, and orderliness. As cadets master Drill and Ceremony, they become self-assured in their own abilities. Drill includes, marching, crack company, and posting of the Colors at patriotic events. As cadets rise through the ranks they develop confidence and leadership as they instruct the younger cadets. Each rank, from private to cadet colonel has new leadership challenges. Cadets look forward to participation in various field trips, as well as, historical and civic events. All of the activities ensure that the cadets develop an esprit de corps. The corps of cadets has traditional dine-ins and reviews each year at both the Seventh Regiment Armory’s Drill Hall and other historical venues in Manhattan. Cadets receive leadership training and are given opportunities to be in leadership roles as squad leaders, company commanders, and staff officers. Cadets develop skills such as how to motivate others, empathy, patience, supervise junior cadets, and command a group of peers. These elements of leadership help the cadets in all areas of their school lives now and with their jobs, careers and families later in life. The discipline, orderliness, fairness and kindness that characterize the Greys experience are ideals that most parents want for their children, but there are few ways of imparting them in the usual after-school activities. Thanks to the Corps' leadership, the Greys are still one way for the children of New York City to develop those attributes.
