About
The Percy Sutton SEEK Student Club is a student organization of the SEEK (Search for Education, Elevation, and Knowledge) Program at the City College that preserves the SEEK Program's rich heritage, as well as its historical, cultural, and educational importance. SEEK is a higher educational opportunity program that provides academic and financial support to students who qualify based on specific income and academic criteria.
As the SEEK club, we promote diversity, equity, and inclusion to ensure all SEEK students are represented and heard. To do that, we provide a safe space and community where SEEK students feel comfortable participating in. We also create fun, but also engaging events that keep our club members active while offering helpful: academic, professional, and personal resources to help SEEK students navigate their college journey. For the countless amount of times, we have had events, we have/will do our best to make them feel part of a robust family-like network of students that they can rely on for anything. Ultimately, the SEEK club serves as a support system for all SEEK students for that they will be able to enter greater social and economic mobility.

Gabriel Reyes
President
I am a rising senior at CCNY majoring in Political Science and minoring in community change studies and Black studies. My passion resides in fighting to advance social justice for low-income communities of color. With that said, I joined the SEEK club because it has been the backbone for me as I have navigated my college journey, and I want to be able to make this club as welcoming as possible for all SEEK students so they feel safe and supported throughout their journey. I look forward to serving all SEEK students!
Aissata Diallo
Vice President
I enrolled at City College of New York Fall’19, through SEEK. This will be my 2nd year attending. I am majoring in psychology and biology, like the many other students at CCNY. I have great passion for leadership, my community, and I most importantly care about the wellbeing of my fellow SEEK students. I want SEEK students' satisfaction with this program which I have had the privilege of being a part of. Students concerns are my concerns and along with my fellow SEEK e-board electors we will have the most splendid year! See you all this Fall... online!

Hey everyone, I am a sophomore at CCNY, majoring in Business Admin. I am passionate about seeking out new opportunities and meeting people.

I am eager to meet all the members that are willing to join!
Afruja Islam
Secretary
I am a rising sophomore majoring in Psychology and minoring in Theatre and Economics. I was very overwhelmed my first semester at CCNY, but SEEK (specifically the PAL center) became my home where I let go of all my worries. Fast forward, the E Board members for the SEEK club were being announced through email, and I got selected for the Secretary position! I was over the moon because this was when I realized that I get to give back to SEEK through the club for all the things they have done for me. I want to make sure every student that comes to our meetings leaves, knowing they are a part of this fantastic family! Through my passion for helping others, I will make sure that SEEK club members have a blast in this club while still learning from each other, including myself. I look forward to having an amazing year with the incoming and current club members and the E Board members. Look out for future events, and I hope to see you there!

Social Media Promoter
I am a sophomore, pursuing a degree in Psychology. Being part of the SEEK community exposed me to great opportunities. Even though my freshman year of college was difficult, the SEEK community has been a comfortable place for me to better myself by providing meaningful connections with consolers, tutors, and my peers. I joined the SEEK club to be part of the community that continuously provides a safe place for students to grow and make their academic year a little easier.
