Exciting news NYC! Baruch College is officially on the Metropolitan Transportation Authority map. The 23rd Street 6 train station, located in Manhattan's iconic Flatiron District, has been co-named "23 St-Baruch College." "Today marks a momentous occasion—years in the making—the co-naming of the 23rd Street 6 train stop as “23rd Street–Baruch College,” said Baruch College President S. David Wu. "This is more than a name change; it’s a powerful symbol of aspiration, opportunity, and the transformative power of education." The newly installed signage was unveiled at a ribbon-cutting ceremony attended by MTA CEO and Chair Janno Lieber, NYC Transit President Demetrius Crichlow, Assembly Member Harvey Epstein, Senator Kristen Gonzalez, Baruch student leaders, The City University of New York Chancellor Félix V. Matos Rodríguez, and President Wu. “The E. 23rd St.-Baruch station, the seventh location of our city’s subway system to carry the name of a CUNY college, also marks the location where the University first opened its doors more than 175 years ago," Chancellor Matos Rodríguez said. "As CUNY expanded its footprint to encompass 26 campuses across the five city boroughs, generations of New Yorkers have been transported by the MTA to classrooms and laboratories where CUNY helped them pursue and achieve their dreams."
