Over the years, so many students have earned highly respected degrees as well as a foundation for life at Brooklyn College. The students of Brooklyn College have become the best in business, in law, in stage, in education, in health care, as well as others, and they have made our society a better place to live, to work and to raise a family. I am proud to have secured this record level of funding for Brooklyn College, so that the many students who will learn there in the future, will have the very best of opportunities."

Brooklyn College President Dr. Christoph M. Kimmich stated, "The work Senator Golden put into this budget season has yielded extraordinary results for Brooklyn College. The fundamental decisions reflected in this capital budget have set the College firmly on the path to modernizing and transforming the campus. We would not be where we are without his help. We’re enormously grateful."
