SCHOOL OF PROFESSIONAL STUDIES — Lexington Lynx, the beloved CUNY SPS mascot, was born back in 2011 from a combination of the School’s physical location and its online presence. Lex’s name combines the School’s former proximity to Lexington Avenue in Manhattan at the CUNY Graduate Center, and the word “hyperlinks,” a reference to online learning.
Lexington Lynx’s first big outing took place 12 years ago in Central Park to cheer on the students who walked the Susan G. Komen Race for the Cure.
