📺 Watch now! Is giving students access to AI enough? Management, Marketing and Entrepreneurship Associate Professor Ngoc Cindy Pham says the real goal is teaching them to solve real-world problems.

On the latest signals in higher ed, Darin Francis talks with Dr. Pham about her work at Brooklyn College and the Bridge AI Lab. Rather than restricting AI, she empowers students to use it as a co-creator—challenging them to exercise judgment, defend their choices, and translate tech skills into career opportunities.

💬 Meet Gabrielle Joseph ’26, a business administration major, and one of our two Ponce Bank scholarship recipients.

Raised by Haitian parents who instilled a deep appreciation for education, Gabrielle always knew she was meant to unlock her full potential.

After initially pursuing a nursing degree at Long Island University, Gabrielle took a deliberate step back to reassess her goals. Through careful exploration, she discovered a true passion for business and project management. She brought this recharged vision to Brooklyn College, where she has thrived—stepping out of her comfort zone and earning an outstanding 3.9 GPA in her first semester.

Looking ahead, Gabrielle plans to secure project management internships, but her ultimate goal goes beyond corporate success. She is deeply committed to uplifting marginalized communities and creating spaces where youth can nurture their gifts. We are incredibly proud of Gabrielle’s resilience and dedication to driving positive change!
