MESSAGE FROM INTERIM PRESIDENT DAISY COCCO DE FILIPPIS
|
|
My Dear Colleagues and Students,
As I write these words, the northeast is covered with a wintery blanket, reminding us that there are times we need to settle down and times that we can’t control everything around us. I think we all learned that lesson by now. We continue to face the challenges of COVID as we move forward, using all support available to our students during this first week of classes and each and every day.
We reflect on the road taken these past six months, about our dedication to meeting the moral imperative to do our part. This past week-end, the manos a la obra ethos continued as colleagues in SDEM and OAA engaged in outreach to our students. Please read in this Semanario about some of the strategies and successes.
Dear colleagues and students, stay safe, stay focused on your work and what is yours to do to ensure we all have a successful semester.
Mil gracias y bendiciones, Daisy
Daisy Cocco De Filippis, Ph.D.

A POEM IN HONOR OF BLACK HISTORY MONTH |

Phenomenal Woman
By Maya Angelou
|
|
Pretty women wonder where my secret lies.
I’m not cute or built to suit a fashion model’s size
But when I start to tell them,
They think I’m telling lies.
I say,
It’s in the reach of my arms,
The span of my hips,
The stride of my step,
The curl of my lips.
I’m a woman
Phenomenally.
Phenomenal woman,
That’s me.
I walk into a room
Just as cool as you please,
And to a man,
The fellows stand or
Fall down on their knees.
Then they swarm around me,
A hive of honey bees.
I say,
It’s the fire in my eyes,
And the flash of my teeth,
The swing in my waist,
And the joy in my feet.
I’m a woman
Phenomenally.
Phenomenal woman,
That’s me.
|
|
Men themselves have wondered
What they see in me.
They try so much
But they can’t touch
My inner mystery.
When I try to show them,
They say they still can’t see.
I say,
It’s in the arch of my back,
The sun of my smile,
The ride of my breasts,
The grace of my style.
I’m a woman
Phenomenally.
Phenomenal woman,
That’s me.
Now you understand
Just why my head’s not bowed.
I don’t shout or jump about
Or have to talk real loud.
When you see me passing,
It ought to make you proud.
I say,
It’s in the click of my heels,
The bend of my hair,
the palm of my hand,
The need for my care.
’Cause I’m a woman
Phenomenally.
Phenomenal woman,
That’s me.

A MESSAGE FROM THE PRESIDENT OF THE STUDENT GOVERNMENT ASSOCIATION BRIAN CARTER |
|
On behalf of the SGA, I am saddened to announce the passing of our own Jerry Rosa’s mother, Nilda Esther Gonzalez Gonzalez on January 31 As you you all know, Jerry Rosa is our esteemed Director of Student Activities, an office that serves our community with resource such as promoting the college clubs, SGA, and numerous other engagements throughout the years. A mother is the matriarch of the family and I can only imagine what it must be for Director Rosa’s family to be affected by such a profound loss. We will continue to encourage and support one another as a family should in these unfortunate times. Our hearts go out to Jerry Rosa and his family and we send them our deepest condolences.
This week marked the start of the semester. For some, it was their first impression of college, whereas for others it meant continuing the momentum they have already built. Unfortunately, we are all experiencing this amidst a pandemic which has affected our lives in the most negative of ways, but we still must continue to encourage each other to strive for greatness despite the current circumstances. I wish all students would take advantage of all that Hostos has to offer us, such as the Counseling Center’s upcoming event, where I will serve as moderator. The event will take place on February 16 from 3 p.m. to 4:30 p.m. Come and be involved in activities that will build character and embrace our culture and continue the conversation through Black History Month, where we must be outspoken about any and all positive influences.
I encourage students to utilize the computer lab and library remote resources. Hostos continues to offer these tools so take advantage of them. Although you must make an appointment, the library still provides the same service they did before the pandemic lockdown. You can reserve books, obtain copies of pages or chapters. Most of your books you can get remotely as you have in the past and any devices you need to rent for the semester, such as laptops or calculators, are also available for reservation. We have a beautiful campus, and although currently operating remotely, there are still many things available to us.
We must continue to support each other amidst these unforeseen times, for only the Lord knows the pain that we endure. We will continue to have encouraging workshops for students this semester so be on the lookout and let us know if there is a topic that interests you. Please be aware that we are in this together and unity over adversity equals university, and adversity builds character. There is always someone looking up to you the same way that we look up to God for his blessings.
I hope we will all continue to strive for success and encourage greatness among one another -- for now is the time to seize the moment, and time is of the essence, and only God can judge you, so do your best and the rest will follow.

A Spotlight on Faculty Scholarly Efforts at Creating Course Blackboard Improved Sites.
Faculty preparation for spring 2021 brings the opportunity to reflect on and appraise the evolution of pedagogical repertoire using Blackboard. For many faculty, the use of Blackboard has moved from a depository site for material to an online tool shaped by purpose and intentionality. All of these open a new pedagogical realm. The impact of EdTech’s online training is demonstrated through the ways in which faculty members repurpose their Blackboard sites shaped by discipline identities and teaching styles. This brings an improved understanding of the usefulness of Blackboard as a pedagogical site and shows the results of scholarly efforts by the faculty community. As in any creative process, the growing reconciliation between in-person teaching styles and online-teaching styles also includes uncertainty, pain, and frustration. Will the faculty community emerge with blended teaching identities as the higher education landscape imagines a return to the physical classrooms?
Faculty tenacity -- preserving institutional academic continuity and integrity during these remote teaching periods -- owes much to the help provided by the EdTech Office’s support. Mr. Carlos Guevara’s team members have been one email away through this entire period. The office showed readiness and preparation for the transition. EdTech supported faculty development by phone, walk-in services, and scheduled training and showed a remarkable capacity to navigate the sudden faculty demands created by remote teaching strategies. In this regard, the self-study questions the processes that support Hostos’s institution design and delivery of the student-learning experience.
As the institution contemplates a new normal for in-person instruction based on our pandemic experiences, we realize that not only our personal and professional lives have felt the impact; so have our identities as teachers. This is an opportunity for professional growth and innovation, and our EdTech office is THE resource to accompany us as we face the future. Unquestionably, the Scholarship of Teaching and Learning on Blackboard represents a new era, and the EdTech and Center for Teaching and Learning will help us all find our footing in a changed world. Overall, the faculty’s purposefulness designing Blackboard sites creates teaching research opportunities for faculty and opens new prospects for scholarly inquiry, creative activity, and faculty passion (Marti, 1886) for teaching.

INSTITUTIONAL EFFECTIVENESS |

Reflections on Beyond the University: Why Liberal Education Matters
Thanks to President Daisy Cocco DeFilippis, the Cabinet is invited to read and discuss a book once a month. On the list for this year are works by Ta-Nehisi Coates, Sandra Cisneros and Rebecca Solnit, among others. I chose Michael Roth’s Beyond the University: Why Liberal Education Matters (2014).
I chose this book for a number of reasons – not least of which because I live, work, and breathe community college where a primary tension explored in this book – that between education of the “need to know”, immediately monetizable, applied vocational skills and the “cultivation of curiosity” and the foundation of skills and habits of the mind that support life-long learning – informs our work. That tension is often a productive one, one to which institutions such as Hostos respond creatively and morally – preparing our students for the mid-term as well as the long-term.
I chose this book because I graduated from Wesleyan where I earned my degree in an uber-liberal arts program grounded in history, philosophy and literature of western Europe. It was not a “great books” program. Rather, the program aimed to teach us how to “harness history” (and literature and philosophy) to create “effective intelligence.” While the core of the program moved us from the classical Greek period to post-war modernity, the context and critique was aimed at understanding and responding to current problems. This pragmatic view of education embodies the idea of liberal education as a springboard. Among my class of twenty, there were a diplomat, a physician, several educators, a software engineer, and a choreographer.
I was drawn to this book because it demonstrated the role of education in support of and aligned with the ongoing evolution of the United States and the expanding identities of its citizens. Education is and always has been a political project. To cite a few of the many examples the book mentions: Jane Addams, who viewed education as linked to social change and to empathy. W. E. B. DuBois, for whom education was an “uplift” and a foundation from which black Americans would work in solidarity towards social change. These and others were thinkers who viewed education as both freeing and liberating as well as community - and democracy-building.
Though not intentional, the choice of this book was more timely than I’d imagined: we are at a moment in history when, as we move beyond the Trump presidency (which culminated in the events of January 6th) and continue fighting our way through and eventually out of the pandemic, the commitments we make to our students must respond to their immediate needs. We must also provide them with skills that allow them to move beyond those immediate needs, to challenge the conditions and systems that perpetuate inequities. A liberal education teaches us to question, to learn, to dream. It is hardly a luxury – rather, it sustains our ability to work together, democratically, toward a more productive union.

NEWS FROM THE DIVISION OF ADMINISTRATION AND FINANCE

Submitted by Director of Campus Planning & Development, Elizabeth Friedman
Capital Projects – NYC and NYS release funds for CUNY construction!
We received some good news last week! First the State and then the City began to release funds so that we can move forward on some of our building projects. At the outset of lockdown, Hostos was moving forward on several major capital projects to enhance and upgrade our campus. Several of our projects were halted in March and, while we won’t be able to get them all started immediately, we are very excited! People who have been on campus over the past 6 months have seen the 425 Grand Concourse Building going up on the site of the old PS 31; this 26-story building, which just “topped off” last week, will have 277 affordable housing units AND one floor devoted entirely to the Hostos Advisement Center (ASAP, SSCU and ARC). Other projects include the continued renovation of the B Building, specifically the 3rd floor, which includes offices for the Department of Behavioral and Social Sciences, and new, state-of-the-art classrooms. While we won’t be seeing anything as dramatic as the 425 Grand Concourse Building for quite some time (capital projects take a long time to go from conception to funding to planning and design to construction), the release of our capital dollars and the resumption of this work is a huge step forward!
