Futures Initiative
The Futures Initiative aims to advance greater equity and innovation in higher education. Housed at the Graduate Center and reaching throughout the CUNY community, the Futures Initiative empowers the next generation of intellectual leaders with bold, public, and engaged teaching and learning. The Futures Initiative fosters greater understanding of the complexities of the higher education landscape by spearheading qualitative and quantitative research in areas such as academic labor practices and reward systems, open-access multimedia publishing, data visualization and interpretation, and institutional change. Through HASTAC@CUNY (a hub of the online network Humanities, Arts, Science and Technology Alliance and Collaboratory), the Futures Initiative extends its collaborative peer-to-peer practices across institutions, disciplines, national boundaries, and economic and social disparities, promoting reinvestment in higher education as a public good.

Stay from 5-6 PM in the lobby adjacent to the auditorium to applaud three years of transformation at CUNY, carried out by our wonderful faculty fellows, who have worked so hard to change their classrooms and institutions since 2021 and to the students, faculty, and Centers for Teaching and Learning who have had a hand in organizing other TLH events and initiatives. We can’t thank you enough! Refreshments will be provided with abundant gluten-free and vegan options available.
