Transformative Learning in the Humanities

Transformative Learning in the Humanities is a three-year initiative supported by the Andrew W. Mellon Foundation. The grant supports public talks, symposia, and workshops as well as a series of intensive peer-to-peer faculty seminars for CUNY faculty at all ranks (including adjuncts) in the humanities, arts, and interpretive social sciences. The program focuses on equitable, creative, student-centered pedagogical research and methods designed for the rich diversity of CUNY students; greater recognition for the importance of teaching; and the role of an urgent and indispensable humanities for the future of CUNY students and a more just and equitable society.

Survey from the Office of Transformation and CUNY Career Success Fellows

  • Posted by Jessica Murray (she///her) on October 31, 2022 at 4:15 pm

    Please fill out this important survey about preparing CUNY students for future careers:

    Dear Faculty,

    The Office of Transformation is partnering with the CUNY Career Success Fellows, a group of dedicated faculty who have been working together over the past two years to learn more about faculty interest and engagement in the work of preparing our students for their futures. Faculty are the most powerful influencers of students on our campuses. Faculty involvement in CUNY’s planning related to career preparation and world readiness is essential to propelling more CUNY students into successful careers.

    We are reaching out today to invite (and encourage) you to take a few minutes to complete this brief anonymous survey, which was designed by the Career Success Fellows. The information we learn from you will shape CUNY’s strategies for meaningfully engaging faculty in this important work over the next year. CUNY is one of the most important engines of social mobility in the country — and we want to build on that success.

    The deadline for completing the survey is 11:59 pm on November 30, 2022.

    Thank you for your time and attention. If you have questions about this survey or would like to learn more about opportunities to contribute to CUNY’s efforts related to student success beyond the degree, please email [email protected].
