Human Resources

The Office of Human Resources supports the CUNY Graduate Center’s mission, vision, values, and goals by engaging and developing a diverse and inclusive workforce, and sustaining a work environment that promotes fair treatment of all employees, open communications, personal accountability, trust, mutual respect and professional growth.
The Office of Human Resources (OHR) supports a vibrant, diverse, and inclusive employee community at the Graduate Center and at its affiliated CUNY colleges and professional schools, which include Craig Newmark Graduate School of Journalism, and Macaulay Honors College.
Through high-level expertise and services, we seek to create a workplace where faculty, staff, and student employees can thrive. Our comprehensive program includes employee relations, recruitment, benefits, compensation, professional development, coaching, and mentoring, with emphasis on quality and responsiveness.
The OHR team works to ensure an environment of professionalism, mutual trust, and respect. We invite you to explore the administrative services and opportunities available to our faculty, staff, and student employees, and to contact us with any questions or concerns.
ATTENTION: First contact HR at HR@GC.CUNY.EDU if you intend to submit documents and forms that contain sensitive information (social security number, date of birth, bank information)
