Welcome to the CUNY Academic Commons
You've reached the CUNY Academic Commons, a site dedicated to building community across the 23 campuses in the City University of New York system. Designed to support faculty initiatives and build community through the use of technology in teaching and learning, it's part academic social network, part resource hub, and part conversational forum. For more information, please read the full Mission Statement.
You don't need to be a member of the site to browse its offerings, but it's very easy to create an account with a CUNY email address. Once you've done that, you can fill out your profile information, join a group, start a blog, check out (and add to) our wiki, or browse the discussion forums. We've designed the Commons to give our members many different ways of working with and communicating with one another, and we hope you'll take advantage of them.
We're still building up our help pages, but you can find many questions and answers on our Site FAQ. You can also post questions (and provide answers) on our Help discussion forum.
To stay on top of recent news about the Commons, please check out our news blog and our development blog. You can also find us on twitter.
Thanks for visiting and please contact us with questions or suggestions. We're going to need your help to make this thing work!

Profiles: Our Members
The Commons is not about technology -- it's about people. So, please check out the profiles of the wonderful members of the CUNY community who have already joined us, and start creating and customizing your own profile.

Collaboration: Our Blogs and Wiki
The CUNY Academic Commons offers two very different ways of communicating ideas and information. If you're looking to have a group of people build up a series of resource pages in a collaborative fashion, you should consider using our wiki. And if you're interested in creating an ongoing narrative of your work, you can easily set up a blog on this site. Check out some of our member blogs here.

An old woman cautioned about disillusionment;
it causes loss of inspiration and orientation, she implied.
Who clings to falsehood expecting real security?
As if the armed deceived would vanquish the unarmed skeptic!
Choose security in bad faith or insecurity in good faith,
which is neither what she commanded nor what I choose.
