Scene at Lehman

New Idea

English professor Jessica Yood spoke about her new book about the humanities and writing studies in America, The Composition Commons: Writing a New Idea of the University, which pushes back on the main university model founded almost 200 years ago and doesn’t take into account the vast diversity of thought and people who now attend most colleges.

Celebrating 100 Years of James Baldwin at Lehman College

Lehman hosted a thought-provoking discussion centered around Raoul Peck’s powerful documentary I Am Not Your Negro.

“Today was an inspiring day. I saw the Herbert H. Dance Company (the 'HERBIE') perform and then saw the new art exhibition at the Art Gallery at which the Bronx Music Project performed.

So much talent at Lehman!”
