Hostos Celebrates its 45th Anniversary
 Hostos Community College has embarked on its 45th Anniversary Celebration, which will feature a multitude of events to acknowledge the college's nearly four-and-a-half decades of history.
Since 1968, Hostos has educated a diverse and dynamic student body, while also providing educational and social services to the community. With its enrollment numbers and graduation rates reaching all-time highs and the opening of the new Center for Workforce Development and Continuing Education in the Bronx Terminal Market building, this celebration will be an opportunity to thank the community and reflect on the college's achievements.
"We are excited about celebrating this milestone with our students, faculty, staff, and the community," said Hostos President Félix V. Matos Rodríguez. "Hostos would not be here if it weren't for the special relationship we have with the South Bronx and the rest of New York City. As we observe our 45th anniversary, we look forward to building on all we have accomplished."
Named for Eugenio María de Hostos, the 19th century Puerto Rican educator, philosopher, sociologist and leader, Hostos Community College has proudly carried on his legacy through its dedication to educating the leaders of tomorrow.
Please join our faculty, staff, students and alumni as Hostos celebrates its past and anticipates a bright future.

Message from President
Félix V. Matos Rodríguez - Fall 2012
Every educator knows that the start of a new academic year always brings a sense of excitement and enthusiasm, so it should not come as a surprise that I am eager to see our 2012-2013 academic year get off to a fast start. But 2012-2013 will not be like any other year in Hostos history because it is an anniversary year!

Faculty of the Month
Name: Craig Bernardini
Home: Fishkill, NY
Teaches: English, Chair of the English Department
Years at Hostos: 8
Hostos professor Craig Bernardini has taught every type of writing, from the core courses to Studies in Fiction, Latin American Literature in Translation and Writing About Music.
But the newly-elected Chair of the English Department said he didn't always think he would be teaching English at the college level. He actually began college studying physics and said some of the science writing that was part of his coursework sent him in a different direction.
