Dear Lehman Campus Community,
We invite students, staff, and faculty to take this *very* short survey. This is for a project run by BIPOC faculty at Lehman College, and funded by the Black, Race and Ethnic Studies Initiative (BRESI) Campus Climate Grant (see information about the grant, further below).
Thank you in advance for taking a few minutes to answer the questions.
In solidarity,
Evelyn Durán, Assistant Prof. Languages & Literatures;
Sarah Soanirina Ohmer, Associate Prof. LALS
Mary Phillips, Associate Prof. Africana Studies. Lehman College.

The BRESI Campus Climate Grant supports activities and projects that address aspects of prejudice, reduce discriminatory practices, and contribute to safer and more equitable climates for students, staff, and faculty at CUNY colleges. Successful proposals will be grounded in the work of Black, Race, and Ethnic Studies. These projects should enable members of racially subordinated groups to feel a greater sense of belonging and that their lived experiences are valued, specify the form of racism/ethnocentrism addressed, and demonstrate a clear articulation of how a given project will contribute to improving campus climate around issues of race and ethnicity as well as how it connects to a broader vision of social transformation |

Principle to Practice: Culturally Responsive Teaching as an HSI
Faculty are invited to participate in this 2 hour zoom workshop modeled on work by ESCALA Educational Services (ESCALA 2022). ESCALA works specifically with Hispanic-Serving Institutions (HSIs) to close the gap in educational access and completion rates for Latinos.
Given that research shows cultural differences can be used as a resource in teaching (Foster,2003), the goal of the project to bring awareness of the cultural strengths of Hispanic/LatinX students in teaching and learning.
Faculty are invited to participate in this workshop designed to create a more inclusive curriculum by integrating culturally responsive teaching in their course work. Faculty participants should bring a sample syllabus for use in the workshop.
