  • Antonio Pérez López was appointed in 1995 as president of Borough of Manhattan Community College (BMCC), The City University of New York (CUNY) which has grown since that time to have the highest enrollment of any CUNY college. President Pérez stepped down in 2018. President Pérez has led the development of programs that increase the participation of women and low-income students in the STEM (Science, Technology, Engineering and Math) fields, as well as programs that prepare students to enter high-demand fields, including nursing and allied health. He is also widely known for having shepherded the college community through the aftermath of the events of September 11, 2001. BMCC is the only college in United States history to have lost a campus building to a terrorist attack. Fiterman Hall, a few blocks from BMCC's main campus, was destroyed when World Trade 7, across the street, collapsed and fell against it, causing irreparable damage. Fiterman Hall was closed and BMCC’s main campus building became a command center and staging area for about 2,000 rescue workers. Pérez, broadcasting live with CBS 2 reporter Lou Young on the roof of the BMCC main campus building, got the word out to the college’s then 16,000 students that BMCC would reopen on October 1, less than three weeks after the attacks. After 9/11, Pérez spent more than 10 years involved in efforts to procure funding to raze and rebuild Fiterman Hall. He was closely involved in developing a public/private partnership between the Dormitory Authority of the State of New York, the Office of NYC Mayor Michael Bloomberg, The City University of New York, the U.S. Environmental Protection Agency, the NYS Department of Labor, the NYC Department of Transportation and others. That partnership resulted in the opening of a new Fiterman Hall in August 2012. Pérez has spoken and written widely on leadership during a crisis and other issues affecting community college students since that time, and discusses leading BMCC through the post-9/11 years in a January 2014 interview with TV station WPIX-NY (Pix11) (en)
