Jennifer J. Raab is the 13th and current president of Hunter College of the City University of New York holding this position since June 2001. She is responsible for overseeing the functions of CUNY's largest college and its affiliates such as the Hunter College High School.
A graduate of Hunter College High School, Raab was honored in 2002 with Hunter College High School’s Distinguished Alumni Award. The first in her family to attend college, Raab is a Phi Beta Kappa graduate of Cornell University, where she was accepted on early admission when she was 16 years old. Raab also holds a Master's in Public Affairs from Princeton University's Woodrow Wilson School of Public and International Affairs where she was a member of the Dean's Advisory Council. Raab received her law degree cum laude from Harvard Law School. Harvard has named her to the Law School Visiting Committee, which reports to the University Board of Overseers.
Raab served for seven years as Chairwoman of the New York City Landmarks Preservation Commission under Mayor Rudolph Giuliani. In a 1997 profile, The New York Times’s David W. Dunlap said she had “developed some untraditional ideas about who belongs to the preservation community,” adding that the changes – which could have been made “only by an outsider” – had greatly reduced the city’s historic battling over preservation. She was head of the Landmarks Preservation Commission when it unanimously approved Norman Foster's plans for Hearst Tower in Fall of 2001. She also served on the Charter Revision Commission under Mayor Michael Bloomberg.
