On Mar. 26th, the Queens College Student Association (SA) held its second Multicultural Night (MCN) of the 2025-2026 school year. With almost 400 attendees, the event stood out as one of SA’s most successful events this year despite disruptions caused by the closure of the Student Union building. The event followed the first MCN held on November 20th, 2025 which drew over 300 students from across all City University of New York (CUNY) colleges. Similar to the fall semester, tickets to the event were free of charge

Queens College appointed Vincent Sinclair as the head of the Public Safety department in President Wu’s March 2026 issue of Frankly Speaking. Sinclair is a CUNY alumni and received his bachelor's degree from John Jay College of Criminal Justice. On Wednesday, Mar. 25th, QC received an anonymous threat via email during the Middle States Readout. President Wu discussed the incident in a 19-minute video, mentioning the email which stated, “be ready because at 10:30 a.m there will be fireworkz.”

Following the March 25th anonymous threat, a change.org petition and flyers calling for the removal of Queens College President Frank H. Wu was found around campus, fabricating an endorsement by the Professional Staff Congress and falsely advertising a vote of no confidence at the April 16th Academic Senate meeting. The petition was created on March 26th by petition starter “Frankly Frustrated.” According to the petition starter’s bio found on Change.org: “We are a collective of frankly frustrated faculty, staff and student members at Queens College, City University of New York.” The Knight News tried to reach out to the petition starter but has received no response.

On Mar. 25th, Queens College received an anonymous threat over the course of two weeks from the ID, “Frankly Concerned,” disrupting the Middle States readout that was meant to take place in LeFrak Concert Hall. The email from “Frankly Concerned” read, “We demand immediate and unconditional removal of Frank Wu, Troy Hahn [and] Joseph Loughren before [the] fireworkz show at 10:30 today.” Kiely Hall was then evacuated without notice or explanation.

On March 2nd, I landed in Fort Lauderdale, Florida

On March 2nd, I landed in Fort Lauderdale, Florida on a brief trip to be a part of Spring Training with the New York Mets and Team Israel Baseball before the upcoming World Baseball Classic.

The two hour drive to West Palm Beach gave me a chance to reflect on my favorite Mets moments, as it has been my dream to attend Mets Spring Training in Port St. Lucie since I was a kid. The last time I attended Spring Training was for my 12th birthday, and I quickly became the coolest 7th grader for missing a week of class to watch baseball in Florida.

Ilia Malinin, the self-proclaimed “Quad God,” was the heavy Olympic gold favorite heading into the men’s figure skating event on February 13th.

With a fabled quad axel jump, backflips, and a record-breaking seven quad jump layout, he was expected to win.

Watching Malinin would be “like watching the moon landing,” according to an NBC 5 Chicago headline.

However, those expectations came crashing down during Malinin’s upsetting performance.

With the fifth-best record in the NBA Eastern Conf

With the fifth-best record in the NBA Eastern Conference as of March 15th, 2026 at 43-25, the New York Knicks have established themselves as a true contender this season. What sets the 2025-26 team apart from last year and gives fans real hope of heading to the finals is the team’s depth.

For Allycia Santa-Cruz, a junior on Queens College

For Allycia Santa-Cruz, a junior on Queens College’s Women’s Tennis team, her commute is the first challenge as a college athlete and can be described in one word: terrible. “I take the Q88 from the terminal, and it doesn't matter what time I take it at, there's always a long line. On freezing days, it's even better. While it should take 30-40 minutes, it takes me 1-1.5 hours.”

Being a student athlete requires dedication and commitment to academics as well as athletics. For QC, a commuter school with a student population as diverse as the sports teams it offers — baseball, tennis, softball, volleyball and more — the QC Knights are no stranger to the trials of student athletics.

“IT: Welcome to Derry” (2025) opens with a tune from the 1962 musical, “The Music Man” – “Ya Got Trouble" – to let the viewers know exactly what’s in store.

The show serves as a prequel to Andrés Muschietti’s “IT” movies – released in 2017 and 2019 – which adapt Stephen King’s novel of the same name. Taking place in 1962, twenty-seven years before the television miniseries, the viewers are given a new cast, new scares, and new insights into the origins of Derry, Maine, the fictional town where the horror unfolds.

For the people of Queens, the words “iconic” and “

For the people of Queens, the words “iconic” and “historic” bring one place to mind: Citi Field. Opened in 2009, this stadium sits at the heart of Flushing Meadows Corona Park and is home to the legendary New York Mets.

What surrounds this stadium is 50 acres of grim and barren asphalt parkland. With a new vision, New York Mets and Citi Field owner Steven Cohen, in partnership with major global hospitality company Hard Rock International, are set to transform the space into the entertainment and sports district of New York: Metropolitan Park.

Despite excitement surrounding the project, however, there have also been voices of contention among Queens residents as well as calls to boycott.

OP-ED: CUNY's $25 Million Funding Must Prioritize

OP-ED: CUNY's $25 Million Funding Must Prioritize Affordability and Student Access

The City University of New York (CUNY) has secured a record-breaking $25 million in federal funding as part of the Fiscal-Year 2026 Congressional appropriations. The funding will support projects across 15 campuses, covering everything from workforce development to mental health services and infrastructure improvements.

At first glance, the announcement is a clear win for the nation's largest urban-public university system. Beyond the headlines and press releases, this moment raises a more pressing question regarding how the money should actually be spent. CUNY stands as one of the most powerful engines of social mobility in the U.S.
