Pharrell Williams - HAPPY (We are from New York City - CUNY) - #HAPPYDAY

This video unites all City University of New York (CUNY) schools. We want to send a message to the world that we are CUNY and we will not be underrepresented.

We represent diversity, culture, education, freedom, and hope for many students in NYC.
Most importantly the purpose of this video is to empower and promote student rights for all.

A lot of effort and time was put into the making of this video.
I would like to thank EVERYONE who supported this idea. Thank you to all the students who took time out of their busy schedules to spread a little joy on their campus. Thank you to all the administrators who supported their student leaders on each campus.

*Thank you to University Student Senate (USS) for always supporting student leaders in all CUNY's. Without this organization students would have a much harder time finding solutions for different issues on their campus.

Truly grateful,
Lida Ramos Arce

Video of the year, I wish I was in it. I graduated from Borough of Manhattan Community College in 2002 and Hunter College in 2009. CUNY is the best. not NYU, ST. John's or Columbia.
