Brent Scott, a former City College student government president and student trustee, died on Aug. 23 at the age of 39 in New York City.
“Really full of energy, full of life, they’re passionate, they feel everything intensely, that was Brent,” Kimberlee Beyrer, faculty coordinator of Student Leadership and Development said. “It was contagious, really. People were drawn to him.”
Scott served as the student government president from 2003-2004 and the student trustee from 2004-2005, and was homecoming king in 2002, according to Rick Brewer, City College Communications and Public Information Officer.
During his tenure, Scott fought passionately for his convictions and for the student body.
Beyrer was Scott’s adviser during his time at City College. Scott was one of the students she kept in contact with even after he left. She said Scott always had a voice and he wasn’t afraid to use it.
Scott led the fight against the Land Park Neighborhood Association in allowing students to park in William Land Park before the 1,958 space parking structure was built.
Beyrer said, with Scott in the lead, the students worked really hard in fighting the neighborhood association.
“The win was they held off the neighborhood association and the city from doing anything drastic in terms of limiting parking until our parking structure was done,” Beyrer said.

Scott was instrumental in chartering the campus group Queer Straight Alliance in 2002 (which had previously existed under a different name), a student run club for LGBTQIA individuals.
According to Gayle Pitman, a City College psychology professor, the group thrives today largely due to Scott’s effort.
Scott had a strong interest in political discourse and social activism, according to Carmen Hirkala, lab technician in the biology department. She also served in the student government with Scott.
“He was a fighter, a believer, and a dreamer who had faith in the beauty of the human spirit,” Hirkala said in an email. “He was incredibly passionate, outgoing,deeply generous spirit who truly changed the life of every person he met.”
Scott’s brief time at City College had a lasting impact and those who knew him contend to the enthusiasm and fervor with which he lived.
“I’ve known people like that before, where they’re so full of life,” Beyrer said. “It’s almost like they’ve lived all their life in this compacted period of time and then the light just goes out.”
Scott’s name was read during City College’s Day of Remembrance on Sept. 1.
Scott’s service was held on Aug. 31 in Hazlehurst, Georgia.
