About

CUNY Academic Commons Mission Statement:

The Academic Commons of The City University of New York is designed to support faculty initiatives and build community through the use(s) of technology in teaching and learning. The free exchange of knowledge among colleagues across the university is central to better educating the student body and expanding professional development opportunities for faculty research and teaching. Creating networks and support systems that are enabled by easy access to quality digital resources will nurture faculty development through sharing replicable materials and best practices. The Academic Commons is expected to grow in a flexible manner, taking into account the changing dynamics of political, social, cultural, and technological environments affecting the university. This evolving community will help prepare The City University of New York for the current and future educational challenges it faces.

Site Governance:

The CUNY Academic Commons is a project of the CUNY Committee on Academic Technology, (CAT) which contains representatives from every CUNY campus and which is convened by the CUNY Office of Academic Affairs. Generous funding for the CUNY Academic Commons comes from The CUNY Office of Academic Affairs and the CUNY Office of Library Services. The Commons was hosted by the CUNY Graduate Center from 2009-2024. As of January 2025, the Commons is hosted by Reclaim Hosting.
