    The college campus

    The College of Staten Island (CSI) is a public universityinStaten Island, New York. It is one of the 11 four-year senior colleges within the City University of New York system. Programs in the liberal arts and sciences and professional studies lead to bachelor's and associate degrees. The master's degree is awarded in 13 professional and liberal arts and sciences fields of study. A clinical doctorate is awarded by the department of physical therapy. The college participates in doctoral programs of the CUNY Graduate Centerinbiochemistry, biology, chemistry, computer science, nursing, physics, and psychology.

    History[edit]

    The College of Staten Island is the product of a merger in 1976 of Staten Island Community College (SICC), founded in 1956, and Richmond College, founded in 1965. Richmond College had been threatened with closure because of New York City's financial crisis, while SICC, because of its status as a community college, received state support. The merger was particularly logical since the community college offered two-year degrees, while Richmond College was an "upper divisional" college (the third in the nation) that offered degrees to those in their third and fourth years of schooling.

    The College of Staten Island has been located on the grounds of the former Willowbrook State School since 1993. It is the largest campus by physical size in New York City. Before the relocation to Willowbrook, the college had a split campus, located at the former Staten Island Community College (inSunnyside, on Todt Hill; the campus now houses the Michael J. Petrides School) and Richmond College (inSt. George).

    Presidents[edit]

    1. Walter L. Willig, 1955–1968,[3] was the inaugural president of College of Staten Island predecessor institution Staten Island Community College (SICC). His academic area of expertise was civil engineering.
    2. Herbert Schueler, 1966–1973,[3] was the first president of College of Staten Island predecessor institution Richmond College. His academic specialties were German literature and philosophy.
    3. William M. Birenbaum, 1968–1976,[3] served as president of College of Staten Island predecessor institution Staten Island Community College (SICC) until the merger of SICC and Richmond College in 1976, which resulted in the formation of the College of Staten Island. His academic focus was access to higher education for all.
    4. Edmond Volpe, 1976–1994,[3] an American literature scholar, retired in 1994, after having successfully handled the merger of the two colleges and the unification of the two campuses.
    5. Marlene Springer, 1994–2007,[3] an English and American literature scholar, under whose leadership the college improved academic standards, introduced several master's programs, raised the level of the faculty, added research institutes, and introduced an Honors College, The Verrazano School, and the CSI High School for International Studies, retired in August 2007
    6. Tomás D. Morales, 2007–2012;[3] arranged for a free shuttle from the Staten Island Ferry to the Willowbrook campus; announced in May 2012 that he would be leaving to become president of California State University at San Bernardino some months after the faculty senate passed a motion of no confidence[4][5][6]
    7. William J. Fritz, 2012–2021, geologist, appointed interim president on August 15, 2012, and as president on May 6, 2014[7][8]
