MESSAGE FROM PRESIDENT DAISY COCCO DE FILIPPIS |
|
My Dear Colleagues and Students,
As this marks the first full week of a greater in-person return to the campus, I am pleased that we continue to make progress on reopening and going back to good health. Please continue to observe safe practices: wearing a mask, keeping social distancing, following guidelines in elevators and bathrooms, frequent hand-washing, and use of sanitizer.
With the start of a new month in the calendar, we are happy to invite the college community to join today’s celebration of Women’s History Month, where we will be joined by elected officials who serve as leaders in the community. The event will take place at 11 a.m. via Zoom at the following link.
How pleased I am that the Ms. MacKenzie Scott's Gift: President’s Initiatives are beginning their pilot semester with good participation. Please read Director Oviedo’s submission below for further details of the progress being made. I wish everyone much success with mid-terms and papers.
Mil gracias y bendiciones, Daisy
Daisy Cocco De Filippis, Ph.D.

A POEM TO WELCOME WOMEN’S HISTORY MONTH
|

The Miracle of Morning
By Amanda Gorman
I thought I’d awaken to a world in mourning.
Heavy clouds crowding, a society storming.
But there’s something different on this golden morning.
Something magical in the sunlight, wide and warming.
I see a dad with a stroller taking a jog.
Across the street, a bright-eyed girl chases her dog.
A grandma on a porch fingers her rosaries.
She grins as her young neighbor brings her groceries.
While we might feel small, separate, and all alone,
Our people have never been more closely tethered.
The question isn’t if we will weather this unknown,
But how we will weather this unknown together.
So on this meaningful morn, we mourn and we mend.
Like light, we can’t be broken, even when we bend.
As one, we will defeat both despair and disease.
We stand with healthcare heroes and all employees;
With families, libraries, schools, waiters, artists;
Businesses, restaurants, and hospitals hit hardest.
We ignite not in the light, but in lack thereof,
For it is in loss that we truly learn to love.
In this chaos, we will discover clarity.
In suffering, we must find solidarity.
For it’s our grief that gives us our gratitude,
Shows us how to find hope, if we ever lose it.
So ensure that this ache wasn’t endured in vain:
Do not ignore the pain. Give it purpose. Use it.
Read children’s books, dance alone to DJ music.
Know that this distance will make our hearts grow fonder.
From a wave of woes our world will emerge stronger.
We’ll observe how the burdens braved by humankind
Are also the moments that make us humans kind;
Let every dawn find us courageous, brought closer;
Heeding the light before the fight is over.
When this ends, we’ll smile sweetly, finally seeing
In testing times, we became the best of beings.
Amanda Gorman is the youngest inaugural poet in U.S. history, as well as an award-winning writer and cum laude graduate of Harvard University, where she studied Sociology. She has written for the New York Times and has three books forthcoming with Penguin Random House. Read more about the poet here.

MESSAGE FROM SGA PRESIDENT BRIAN CARTER |
|
As we continue to embrace and celebrate each other’s accomplishments and significant contributions to society, let us reflect and continue our momentum and commitment to excellence as students at Hostos Community College.
Black History month is an important reminder that this significant time should be celebrated every day, and if we continue to strive, expectations will remain unlimited.
Possibilities are reimagined in a world where dreams are forbidden. Let us lead by example and give hope to future generations to continue to flourish in our culture and learn to see the fine line between mediocrity and hypocrisy, as they are the apostrophe in my philosophy.
Yes, I am a philosopher, and I can see further than the stars can be seen. I envision a world that is about unlimited creativity forms and a world without limits.
As you continue your journey at Hostos remember the individuals that never got the proper opportunity to have an education, and now you are filling that void. At the end of the day, whether you know it or not, you have chosen this place. You are a great example for society. Continue to live life with grace and passion because you have accepted the responsibility and commitment to providing our community of Hostos with the hope required to dream without limits in a world where dreams are forbidden.
Also, we are going to hold a financial literacy workshop, titled “Making Money Moves,” in the third week of March with the amazing Brian Rashid. I feel we should all attend to learn how to achieve financial independence. The information that you will acquire will provide you the necessary momentum to ensure that your dreams come true. But it starts with the groundwork and foundation and attending this essential workshop will help.
I want to acknowledge the previous SGA administration for their significant contributions. They made the way for the new couches and seating arrangements on the 3rd, 4th, and 5th floors of the C-Building. The furniture had been ordered right before the pandemic hit, and now they are here and we are glad to see students enjoying the new comforts.
Starting in March students, faculty, and staff will have the opportunity to return to the Hostos Café for food and drinks under a new vendor.
In closing, I would like to congratulate the Men’s and Women’s Basketball teams for their championship wins! Continue to support and encourage our wonderful sports programs and wish our teams luck as they continue their season into the regionals. Congratulations to Coach Poole and Athletic Director Smiles for all of their accomplishments and success.

MIDDLE STATES SELF-STUDY UPDATE |
|
Submitted by MSCHE Steering Committee Co-Chairs Professor Kate S. Wolfe and Professor Nelson Nuñez Rodríguez and Professor Jacqueline DiSanto and Mr. Carlos Guevara
Self-Study Update: Teaching Quality Matters
How are we documenting the effectiveness of teaching practices in the current multimodality landscape? The MSCHE Team Chair, Dr. Clayton Railey, brought this question to our attention during last November’s preliminary visit. The quality of teaching matters. More than ever, we have thought about teaching modalities, and, consequently, about our operational explanations of how and why the quality of teaching matters. The pandemic brought us to rethinking modalities, which forces us to disentangle, and, more importantly, purposefully examine the relation between what we teach and how we teach. This Middle States compliance exercise should create inquiry momentum and generate opportunities for improvement, including evaluating what structural changes, policies, and protocols should be redefined.
Hostos has a culture and the structure to document teaching quality. We have a long history of faculty professional-development under the Center for Teaching and Learning (CTL) and its faculty-inquiry groups, in addition to a well-structured peer-observation process. This structure also includes the Office of Educational Technology (EdTech), Educational Technology Leadership Council and the Hostos Online Learning Assessment (HOLA). Altogether, these faculty and academic technologist groups represent an enriching intellectual network to address the critical teaching and learning questions of today: What is the relation between teaching quality and teaching modality? Can we preserve the integrity of our teaching practices regardless of the delivery modality while considering student needs, different disciplines, and teaching identities? Once again, the seminal question posed by P. Hutchings (2013) defining the field of Scholarship of Teaching and Learning can illuminate this conversation: What works?
Faculty members interested to join this effort can contact EdTech/CTL Director Carlos Guevara.

Dear Students and Colleagues,
This has been an exciting week, as several of the Ms. MacKenzie Scott’s Gift: President’s Initiatives have gotten underway with a program opening and grant announcements. On Monday, I had the wonderful opportunity to meet with several students who are participating in the Families United in Education Program. The program has enrolled family members who are enrolled and pursuing their associate degrees at Hostos including cousins, siblings, and even an aunt and niece. They were all eager to learn more about the new program and the services that will be available to them. Along with my colleagues, Mr. Fabian Wander, Director of the Health and Wellness Center, and Ms. Christeen Francis, the Program Manager, we shared with students the access to resources, community services, and cultural experiences that they will receive and benefit from during their participation.
This week two of the President’s Initiatives made important grant announcements. The Hostos Research Center’s 2022 ADELANTE Project has awarded nearly $70,000 in grants to support faculty research projects and faculty-student research internships. Seven awards were made for Track 1 projects supporting faculty research across various disciplines including natural sciences, allied health, education, and humanities. Four awards were made for Track 2 projects that will engage Hostos students in applied research opportunities where they will receive faculty mentorship and develop hands-on research skills and knowledge. Congratulations to all the award winners! I wish the grantees much success as they develop their projects and look forward to learning about each project’s outcomes.
The Educating for Diversity Initiative has awarded seven grants for Spring 2022 to support faculty and staff in implementing a variety of activities and events to engage Hostos students and community members in vital discussions and learning opportunities that address issues of diversity, equity, and inclusion. Congratulations to all the grant recipients! Activities being planned include:
- The "COVID-19 and Gender: A Student Panel” discussion will address how students’ gender and other identity positions have influenced their responsibilities and responses to work, school, and family throughout the pandemic. Scheduled for March 18 at 2 p.m.
- Development of a student podcast series “Somos Hostos” that aims to engage students in sharing their personal stories and how learning at Hostos is helping to achieve their dreams.
- The Social Sciences Speakers Series/Emerging Scholars Speakers Series will host book talks and roundtable discussions with inspirational scholars that have developed critical works centered on issues of social justice, diversity, equity, and inclusion.
- The Own Your Power Initiative seeks to bring the Hostos community together by hosting educational workshops and activities that serve to empower participants with a deep sense of their value, identity, and purpose.
- A workshop on racial justice and liberation to support stronger relationship-building between HEO staff and students.
- A creative writing series that will use the power of art and writing to engage Hostos community members in expressing their lived experiences and intersectional identities to promote social transformation through the sharing of our community’s collective voices.
-
A Velada Hostosiana/Hostos Culture Talk featuring Paola Ramos, the author of “Finding Latinx: In Search of the Voices Redefining Latino Identity” that will engage the Hostos community in a discussion on a very timely topic.
I encourage all of you to take part in all these amazing activities that I am sure will generate a lot of creative energy across Hostos over the coming weeks. Please continue to follow El Semanario/The Hostos Weekly for updates and announcements for planned activities.

INSTITUTIONAL EFFECTIVENESS, RESEARCH, AND ASSESSMENT |
|
Submitted by Dr. Babette Audant, Dean of Academic Affairs and Institutional Effectiveness, Research and Assessment
Hostos’ Institutional Effectiveness Plan
The Hostos Institutional Effectiveness Plan (IEP) is now available on the Hostos Institutional Effectiveness website. The plan serves as a roadmap, and like most maps, doesn't lay out new terrain. Rather, it's a guide to the college’s assessment, planning and resource allocation/budgeting systems that help ensure institutional effectiveness: how well do we achieve our institutional goals and mission?
The IEP was developed in tandem with the college-wide implementation of the annual planning and assessment reporting template (A-PART) in 2019 and completion of the Self-Study report (submitted on February 18, 2022). It isn’t coincidental that the IEP was posted to the Hostos IE website a week before the Self-Study report was submitted to Middle States: After writing a draft of the IEP two years ago, the draft was put aside, and we concentrated on implementing systematic assessment, including documenting these efforts as evidence of college-wide engagement in assessment and planning (thanks to the participation of unit directors, academic program directors and chairs, and division leaders, as well as support from the President).
In November, a version of the IEP was cited when we submitted the Self-Study report to MSCHE Team Chair, Clay Railey. Like the report, the IEP underwent a final editing process that reflects the systems we’ve implemented, as well as providing a roadmap for sustaining these systems, including multi-year plans, links to resources including templates, and narrative to describe and define processes and goals.
The IEP is a dynamic plan. OIERA will keep a record of how systems evolve (continuous improvement!) and review and update the plan annually. There are links throughout the plan, and much of the content is reflected on the website. While not an exciting read, it is exciting to see our integrated planning and assessment systems in an organized format, and to acknowledge that the IEP reflects not what we intend to do, but what we ARE doing. Together.

CUNY Mindset Fellows, Professors Tram Nguyen and Moise Koffi Bring GPS to Hostos
Professor Moise Koffi, deputy chair of the Mathematics Department and co-director of CSTEP/STEP, Project Access, and Professor Tram Nguyen, from the English Department and Director of the Hostos Writing Center, served as faculty fellows in the CUNY Mindset Initiative. Participating in this initiative required the Fellows to facilitate the ‘Mindset Starting Strong’ course by guiding CUNY colleagues through the Mindset motivational course developed and supported by the Motivate Lab.
The ‘Mindset Starting Strong’ course discusses learning mindsets which are related to students’ beliefs about learning and school. The main goal of the course is to train faculty to cultivate motivational strategies in the classroom based on the following three (3) key motivational mindsets called GPS, which include: 1) (g)rowth mindset; 2) (p)urpose and relevance mindset; and 3) (s)ense of belonging mindset. As a result, motivated students will use adaptive learning mindsets to take on challenging work, persist in the face of setbacks and achieve at the highest level of their abilities.
For three iterations of the Learning Mindsets courses since June 2021, as CUNY Mindset Fellows Professors Koffi and Nguyen assisted in the planning and execution of the live kick off and closing events for CUNY Mindset Fellows. They responded to formal discussion questions throughout the two-week courses, engaged with participants' reflections and queries regarding motivation, persistence, and strategies that sustain and amplify growth, purpose and relevance, and sense of belonging in the classroom. Our Hostos leaders Drs. Nguyen and Koffi explained, “Working with faculty across disciplines throughout CUNY, along with Mari Wattanabe, Dominique DiTomasso, and the Motivate Lab team, was an energizing and rewarding experience."
As part of their leadership, Professor Nguyen brought GPS to the Hostos Writing Center and the English department through multiple professional development activities. Additionally, Professor Koffi and Nguyen, both, lent support to Hostos faculty members who presented on GPS at a Center for Teaching and Learning event focused on growth mindsets in Fall 2021. All faculty members are invited to develop GPS mindsets in remote or in person teaching modalities to maximize students’ learning outcomes.

Poem from VP Yates
Sympathy
By Paul Laurence Dunbar
I know what the caged bird feels, alas!
When the sun is bright on the upland slopes;
When the wind stirs soft through the springing grass,
And the river flows like a stream of glass;
When the first bird sings and the first bud opens,
And the faint perfume from its chalice steals—
I know what the caged bird feels!
I know why the caged bird beats his wing
Till its blood is red on the cruel bars;
For he must fly back to his perch and cling
When he fain would be on the bough a-swing;
And a pain still throbs in the old, old scars
And they pulse again with a keener sting—
I know why he beats his wing!
I know why the caged bird sings, ah me,
When his wing is bruised and his bosom sore, —
When he beats his bars and he would be free;
It is not a carol of joy or glee,
But a prayer that he sends from his heart’s deep core,
But a plea, that upward to Heaven he flings—
I know why the caged bird sings!

How to Level Up Your Presentation Skills
Tuesday, March 8, 2022
9:30 am-11:00 am
How can you make your presentation stick and avoid the slow and painful death by a thousand slides? Too often presentations have been reduced to information regurgitation, with multiple bullet points on a slide, or even paragraphs of text as presenters read off the slide verbatim. Subject-matter experts know "what" to say, but rarely focus on the execution so the message actually gets across to the audience.
In this highly interactive session, you will learn how to elevate your presentation skills with simple tools to engage your audience, and leave a lasting impression that will make your presentation memorable.
Key takeaways from the session:
- Address the common pitfalls PowerPoint presentations, and what to do instead.
- How to integrate multimedia to engage the audience in a meaningful way.
- Live demonstration on how the tools work to see instant results.
