of the student body is older than thirty, and over 90% work while attending
school. Nearly 40% of undergraduates are students of color. Asian American
students -- many of whom are working class immigrants -- comprise nearly 15%
of the undergraduate population. The campus is located next to the largest
Vietnamese community in the Northeast, and is a short subway ride from
