Our mission in fulfilling the needs of students also including giving them an exposure of diplomacy and multilateralism. Carry out its activities in the spirit of the Charter of the United Nations (and its Specialized Agencies) in accordance with the Chapter I of the Article 1 (Purposes and Principles). The Collegiate Congress was founded in Fall of 2014 with the mission to preserve affordability and accessibility of higher education within New York State. The organization takes the responsibility to protect, preserve and promote the rights of the student body, furthering the cause for higher education and promoting the general welfare of the students. The Collegiate Congress was formed by a collective mission of elected student leaders of New York City colleges and universities.
The organization supports hereby the equality of States, the realization of the Charter of the United Nations and the strengthening of trust among peoples. In this context, the organization fully endorses and supports the Sustainable Goal (SDG) Goal 4: Quality Education; Ensure inclusive and equitable quality education and promote lifelong learning opportunities for all’’.
