The School of Labor and Urban Studies (established 2018) is an outgrowth of the Joseph S. Murphy Institutefor Worker Education and Labor Studies (JSMI). Named in honor of former CUNY Chancellor Joseph Murphy, aleader in adult and worker education for nearly 35 years. JSMI was established in collaboration with threeNew York City unions and began with 52 students. Today, the leaders of 26 labor and communityorganizations serve on its Advisory Board. More than 1,200 adult and traditional-aged students are currentlyenrolled in undergraduate and graduate degree and certificates programs in Labor and Urban studies andworkforce development programs. The Joseph S. Murphy Institute will continue within the new School,focusing on workforce development programs and housing the School’s Community Service unit, with itspublic programming, research and publications.The mission for the School derives from its core values: access to education, diversity at every level, socialjustice, and equality for all. It seeks to expand higher education opportunities for workers; prepare studentswho aspire to careers in public service and movements for social justice; promote civic engagement; provideleadership development for union and community activists; and help workers achieve greater economicsecurity. Its perspective is unique, addressing the needs of its constituents while helping New York City andState fulfill their needs for a well-educated, highly skilled public and private workforce.Four Pillars of EducationTo accomplish its goals, the School has four units – or foundation pillars: Labor Studies, Urban Studies,Workforce Development, and Community Service.
