MESSAGE FROM PRESIDENT DAISY COCCO DE FILIPPIS

My Dear Colleagues and Students,


As another week brings us closer to the mid-point in our academic semester, I reflect on the multiple activities experienced these past two weeks, celebrations of the spirit and the mind, as we consider the contributions honored by Hispanic Heritage Month. The past, present and future came together as we honor our history, our leaders of the present and our students, the future of this beautiful nation.


As luck would have it, I received a notice that I had been chosen randomly to be tested for COVID. I was relieved because I thought it would be timely since we had had multiple in person gatherings. I assure you it was convenient, no appointment required, courteous and efficient. The next day I received notification of my negative result which then is entered in the CUNY files and I continue to have access to the facilities as a person who has been vaccinated and boosted. Please be sure to follow health and safety practices, and to take advantage, if you need to confirm your COVID negative status to use our very kind, free facilities in the lobby of the A-Building.


Preparations continue for our upcoming Aspen visit. This past week we submitted additional information requested by means of photographs of our campus and students, and answers to a number of questions by a number of our faculty and our students. I am so very grateful for the thoughtfulness of their comments and their generous spirit.  This is exemplary engagement in supportive and productive ways. Bravi!


I wish you a kind and productive week, as you work hard to support perseverance and retention to a successful graduation for our students.



Mil gracias y bendiciones, Daisy

A POEM TO HONOR ITALIAN HERITAGE MONTH:

Triomfo di Bacco e Arianna (excerpt)

By Lorenzo de Medici

 

Quant'è bella giovinezza,

che si fugge tuttavia!

Chi vuol esser lieto, sia:

di doman non c'è certezza.

 

Quest'è Bacco e Arianna,

belli, e l'un dell'altro ardenti:

perché 'l tempo fugge e inganna,

sempre insieme stan contenti.

Queste ninfe ed altre genti

sono allegre tuttavia.

Chi vuol esser lieto, sia:

di doman non c'e certezza.

 

Donne e giovìnetti amanti,

viva Bacco e viva Amore!

Ciascun suoni, balli e canti!

Arda di dolcezza il core!

Non fatica, non dolore!

Ciò c'ha a esser, convien sia.

Chi vuol esser lieto, sia:

di doman non c'è certezza.

A Song for Bacchus (excerpt)

Translated by A.S. Kline


How beautiful our Youth is

That’s always flying by us!

Who’d be happy, let him be so:

Nothing’s sure about tomorrow.

 

Here are Bacchus, Ariadne,

Lovely, burning for each other:

Since deceiving time must flee,

They seek their delight together.

These nymphs, and other races,

Are full of happiness forever.

Who’d be happy, let him be so:

Nothing’s sure about tomorrow.

 

Ladies and you youthful lovers,

Long live Bacchus: long live Love!

Everyone sing, dance and play!

Hearts, be all on fire with sweetness!

No faintness now or hint of sadness!

Whatever is to be must be:

Who’d be happy, let him be so:

Nothing’s sure about tomorrow.

MESSAGE FROM SGA PRESIDENT LEAGHTON N. OZORIA

HI, one and all. By now you have your name asked for a thousand times, And you’ve found so much S.W.A.G.(stuff we all get) that you felt you bought a shipment full of (s.w.a.g.). Well, this is an opportunity to meet your college, why? Well, have you been selected, elected, and nominated to a club that can test your mental stamina? You are all leaders at heart. I see the hustle of every step, the bustle of contextual literature, and the question of what is your inspiration that arises ever so often.


How was your first test? Well, this is your first test and I hope that you not only pass it but you surpass it. You also probably are sitting back wondering why are both school emails full and why are gmails full while we are well into the second month of the semester. I already saw the President of the school twice at events. Let's go class of 2022/2023 and let's go classes of the future.

Application deadline extended to Tuesday, October 18, 2022 by 11:59 p.m.


Secondly, I also want to announce the launch of the Celebrating the Love of Learning Mural Design Contest. All student artists and teams of artists are invited to submit proposals to create two original murals to be displayed in the new Hostos Research Center located on the main level of the C-Building at 450 Grand Concourse. The Hostos Research Center will foster academic and community-based research conducted by Hostos faculty, students, and staff, and to provide our students with an interactive and intellectually stimulating space for scholarly and professional development.


The selected mural designs should add vibrancy to the Hostos Research Center and reflect the artist’s visual representation for the theme “celebrating the love of learning.” We are seeking artwork that embodies the celebration of knowledge-building across disciplines and evokes the feelings and ideas that the “celebrating the love of learning” inspires for the artists.


This opportunity is open to all Hostos Community College students from any discipline. Submissions in every form of two-dimensional media are encouraged such as painting, photography, graphic design, printmaking, and drawing. Works incorporating a dynamic blend of media are also encouraged. An award of $500 will be made per selected design. Two designs will be selected. All art materials and paint supplies will be provided.

INSTITUTIONAL EFFECTIVENESS, RESEARCH AND ASSESSMENT

Submitted by Dean of Academic Affairs, Institutional Effectiveness,

Research, and Assessment Babette Audant, Ph.D. 

 

Strategic planning – Updates from the vantage point of Working Group 4


The Strategic Planning process is underway to develop the 2023–2028 Strategic Plan. Riding the wave of the 2022 MSCHE Self-Study and our Top 10 ranking by the Aspen Institute, the working groups and steering committee, comprised of faculty and staff, are meeting at least five times in the fall semester, continuing the work that was started in Spring 2022. I co-chair working group 4 with Professor Humberto Ballesteros.


The self-study recommendations and the reflective work required by Aspen are among the resources we’re drawing on. The Mission Pillars provide the focus of each working group:


Working Group 1: Access to higher education

Working Group 2: Diversity and multiculturalism

Working Group 3: English and math skills

Working Group 4: Intellectual growth/lifelong learning

Working Group 5: Socio-economic mobility

Working Group 6: Community resources


Institutional commitment to advancing equity is a thread that runs through the work of all working groups in addition to being the focus of working group 2.


Working group 4 has defined its focus as the academic programs offered at Hostos. What’s emerged quickly and continues to be refined is a framework for holding ourselves accountable for ensuring that all degree programs are held to the same standards even as we recognize, and celebrate, the wide variety and richness of offerings. To put it more bluntly – while Dental Hygiene, for example, leads to 100% post-graduation employment at wages that catapult students to the middle class (kudos to the amazing DH faculty and staff and the rigorous training they provide), a student interested in becoming a lawyer may study Liberal Arts at Hostos, History at a four-year institution, and then apply to law school. Their path is less defined and can be supported from Day 1 with clear information, clear guidance, and the financial, academic and career exploration opportunities to support success.


High impact practices including experiential learning (for example: clinical experiences, faculty-led student research, internships and field work) don’t look the same across all disciplines and we can commit to ensuring ELOs are integrated into all degree programs. If degree programs don’t lead to living wage jobs (or better), we can ensure that transfer opportunities and the academic and career pathways they support, do lead to living wage jobs. When and where appropriate, we need to build on and off ramps to college enrollment that aligns with job opportunities, and takes advantage of credit for prior learning, work-based learning and micro-credentials. Our students’ multilingualism and multiculturalism are assets we don’t promote consistently to employers – we can change that by helping students demonstrate and articulate the value proposition they bring to the table.


Standard expectations that all programs of study are intellectually rigorous, provide pathways to living wages, and offer equitable access to high impact practices – these we can do by focusing on the strength of the individual programs of study offered at Hostos, providing faculty with the support to integrate best practices, engage with industry partners, and support students’ success. Committing to more equitable outcomes, and acknowledging that career preparation and the multi-dimensionality of a liberal arts foundation are not contradictions will inform our work going forward.

Hostos Participatory Budgeting event for students (Recurring Notice)


On Wednesday, October 19 from 3 p.m. to 4:15 p.m. on Zoom, I will host the first-ever Hostos Participatory Budgeting event for students. What is participatory budgeting (PB)? It is a process in which everyday New Yorkers can give ideas and suggestions for how a certain amount of money in the New York City budget should be spent next year.  

 

The City is expanding their PB program in next year's budget, and we want Hostos students to participate and have their say! There will be raffle prizes for students, Visa gift cards valued at $25 each. To be eligible for a gift card you must be a Hostos student, attend the PB event on Zoom and stay until the end for the drawing. There will be upwards of 35 gift cards available, so your odds of winning are pretty good!

 

Zoom link: https://hostos-cuny-edu.zoom.us/j/87874750411 

 

So come, learn about PB, how it works, and how to make your voice heard (and maybe win a prize)!

The LLAC Student Cohort Grant Funded by BRESI | Grant PI – Inmaculada Lara-Bonilla


With the support of Black Race and Ethnicity Studies Initiative (BRESI) funding and under the co-leadership of Dr. Inmaculada Lara Bonilla, Associate Professor and Coordinator of the Latin American and Caribbean Studies Unit in the Humanities Department at Hostos and Dr. Norma Fuentes-Mayorga, Assistant Professor in the Sociology Department, and Director, Latin American and Latina/o/x Program at City College of New York, CUNY, a plan to pilot a robustly mentored LLAC student cohort is being planned and implemented. The pilot will identify five (5) students who have committed to pursuing the Latina/o/x, Latin American, and Caribbean Studies Liberal Arts Option, and are enrolled in at least two LLAC courses at Hostos. In Fall 2022, the grant team will deliver three recruitment/retention activities and once the student cohort members are confirmed, they will be closely mentored and advised on the possibilities to transfer, conduct research, and continue to pursue a major or minor in Latin American and Latino Studies at City College. Further, the grant team will finalize a transfer and articulation agreement, garnering the necessary signatures at all levels of the college governance process at both Hostos and City College. Success of the pilot will be evaluated by conducting surveys among students about their experience in the program, by maintaining the student cohort as a learning community throughout the Spring 2023 semester, and by including questions that will measure the support students received from different members of the community (ie, faculty, advisors, administration, student peers, for example). The grant team will also use records (grades) and faculty feedback on students’ academic performance, as well as the student commitment to successfully completing the LLAC Option at Hostos or early evidence of the students’ desire to transfer to a senior college. The team has also identified a completed and approved multi-year articulation transfer agreement as a measure of success for the project.    

                 

Contextually, the grant team has identified the following priorities of the LLAC curriculum. “Given the history of colonization, economic domination, and enslavement of Black and Indigenous minorities throughout the Americas, as well as the increasing globalization of racialized labor in the US and most of the world, CUNY plays a crucial role in teaching and transforming of this history and its impact on Latina/o/x and other racialized youth. Central to the mission of both Hostos Community College and CCNY —and especially of their Latin American, Latina/o/x and Caribbean Studies programs— is to adequately serve the growing Latina/o/x and other populations of New York City with a curriculum that matters. Most courses at both colleges address those legacies from de-colonizing perspectives, whether from the discipline of history, the social sciences, cultural and literary studies, or [trans-disciplinarity]. At this critical moment in the history of CUNY, and given the shifting landscape of higher education and the demographics of the city, we wish to prepare our students to actively participate in urgent discussions about (im)migration, (de)colonization, racial justice, and Latinidad within and beyond academia and with breadth of knowledge. Seeing resources mired once the COVID19 pandemic began, [the grant team sought] funding to strengthen our programs’ capacity and ability to offer teaching and mentoring that prepares students to translate their education into professions of leadership within their communities and the larger society. Supporting community college students, in particular, seems key at this crucial time, given the unprecedented shifts in enrollment and retention, particularly at these colleges.[1] As multiple reports have shown over the course of the past two years, the strains on sustaining a livelihood for many across the country have disproportionately impacted Latina/o/x and Black communities and, specifically, low-income youth, many of which attend community colleges. [The grant team trusts that the] initiative will draw these students to concentrate in LLAC Studies, as well as on Black, Race, and Ethnic Studies, thus revitalizing enrollment, and boosting retention and attainment among Black, Latina/o/x and other minority students[2].

Childhood

By Margaret Walker

 

When I was a child I knew red miners

dressed raggedly and wearing carbide lamps.

I saw them come down red hills to their camps

dyed with red dust from old Ishkooda mines.

Night after night I met them on the roads,

or on the streets in town I caught their glance;

the swing of dinner buckets in their hands,

and grumbling undermining all their words.

 

I also lived in low cotton country

where moonlight hovered over ripe haystacks,

or stumps of trees, and croppers' rotting shacks

with famine, terror, flood, and plague near by,

where sentiment and hatred still held sway

and only bitter land was washed away.


NEWS FROM THE DIVISION OF ADMINISTRATION AND FINANCE 

It’s Cybersecurity Awareness Month!


Did you know October is Cybersecurity Awareness Month? While not as fun as National Ice Cream Month (July), it’s certainly very relevant for our times. As many of you are aware, perhaps because you have received or been affected by them, phishing and scam emails are on the rise. For our IT team, cybersecurity is an everyday matter and they hope that the entire college community makes it an everyday concern for themselves while using their tech devices.


The college is fortunate that our IT team is, and has been, staying on top of network security measures. Dealing with the repercussions of cyberattacks is time consuming and takes away from the work that that they have on their already full plates.


The Desktop Support and Infrastructure team (Jairo Lema, Luis Diaz, Mike Nakano, Ariel Martinez, Rafael Nunez) along with the Service Desk team (Sharmela Girjanand, Genevieve Nguyen, David Vazquez and Jose Salva) have been busy monitoring and responding to these cyberattacks around the clock. You may not have seen all of their faces out and about, or even recognize their names, but know that their dedication and diligence have been keeping the college accounts and infrastructure secure.

Please remember, cybersecurity is not just IT’s responsibility, it is the entire community’s responsibility. All individuals are encouraged to continue practicing these safety tips:


  • Think Before You Click – if an email, link, or sender seems suspicious, refrain from clicking and report it to IT instead;
  • Keep your Software Updated – enabling automatic updates makes it even easier;
  • Use Strong Passwords – you can use password managers to create unique and complex passwords and secure them for you;
  • Enable Multi-Factor Authentication – it will make you significantly less likely to get hacked.    


So if you have unknowingly compromised your Hostos account, follow IT guidance, go through the security training that is required of Hostos users after such an incident, stay alert, and then maybe get yourself some ice cream.
