Friday, November 18, 10:00am-2:30pm (Online)
Experiential Learning @CUNY Conference
This virtual conference will highlight experiential learning projects and initiatives across CUNY, exploring connections to pedagogy, assessment, student experiences, and career readiness. The conference will reflect and respond to existing experiential learning activities across campuses, initiate cross-campus collaborations to strengthen experiential learning efforts across CUNY, and help plan next steps. Participants and presenters will help to showcase how experiential learning is practiced at individual CUNY campuses and help to create a shared definition and mission for experiential learning across CUNY. The conference will also explore how experiential learning offers possibilities to connect students' academic and career goals and foster sustainable community partnerships.

The CUN Office of Transformation is partnering with the CUNY Career Success Fellows, a group of dedicated faculty who have been working together over the past two years to learn more about faculty interest and engagement in the work of preparing our students for their futures. Faculty are the most powerful influencers of students on our campuses. Faculty involvement in CUNY’s planning related to career preparation and world readiness is essential to propelling more CUNY students into successful careers.
We are reaching out today to invite (and encourage) you to take a few minutes to complete this brief anonymous survey, which was designed by the Career Success Fellows. The information we learn from you will shape CUNY’s strategies for meaningfully engaging faculty in this important work over the next year. CUNY is one of the most important engines of social mobility in the country — and we want to build on that success.
The deadline for completing the survey is 11:59 pm on November 30, 2022.

Do you write assignments for your students based on how you think writing should go? A thesis statement! An outline! An annotated bibliography! A rough draft! A final paper! For some, this structure is useful, but for many, it is nothing like their actual writing process. This workshop is designed to support faculty as they reflect on their own approach to writing and use those insights to guide new experiments with student writing assignments. It will be interactive and discussion-based. We will begin with a free write about what we do as writers, and then use our reflections to talk about, draft, and/or redraft an assignment inspired by these insights. Faculty will leave the workshop with this draft, which they may decide to develop and implement.
Faculty from any discipline, who assign any writing assignments, are welcome to join.
Accessibility: ASL interpretation and live CART transcription will be provided.

All faculty are invited to reach out to the respective mentors from their school for guidance and support as needed about teaching with technology and online!
The current Faculty Mentors Cohort appointment for Fall 2022 is from August 25 to December 21, 2022. We encourage you to make use of faculty mentors’ expertise and tap into their collegial support.
For more information and to identify the mentor for your school each semester, visit the mentors page or see below.
What Can Faculty Mentors Help With?
- Advise school colleagues who need assistance with set-up of Blackboard to support a class (e.g. how to make the course available to students, post an announcement, create a discussion forum, create an assignment, etc.)
- Answer questions concerning instructional approaches and options to enrich their courses like Blackboard quizzes, Zoom, Blackboard Collaborate Ultra, discussion forums, Grade Center and rubrics, VoiceThread, and other relevant institutionally supported technologies.
- Share best practices, instructional strategies, tips for efficient and effective teaching and learning online and with technology.
- Serve as a sounding board and exchange ideas on time-saving solutions and high-impact practices in technology-enhanced environments or online.
How to Contact Faculty Mentors?
- You can reach out directly to faculty mentors assigned to your school via email (see below). Faculty mentors respond to questions via email, host regular office hours, schedule training or special topical sessions, and one-on-one and/or group appointments.

Preparation for Teaching Online Workshop: January 9-22 & March 13-26
(RSVP by December 1)
“Preparation for Teaching Online: A Foundational Workshop for CUNY Faculty” is offered January 9-22 & March 13-26, 2023, and open to faculty who teach online or hybrid courses. Faculty who successfully complete the workshop are eligible for compensation at their NTA rate for 10 hours (up to $550).
This program is for faculty who are scheduled to teach online or hybrid courses at Lehman College within the year following the workshop. For the January workshop, we will give priority to those teaching in Spring 2022.
This intensive workshop, offered completely online in Blackboard, models effective design and facilitation skills, and addresses pedagogical approaches to teaching online and hybrid courses, as well as to the organization and management of an online class, while providing first-hand experience in online learning.
There are no required synchronous real-time sessions, but faculty must be available to log in frequently to participate in discussions and complete work during each of the two weeks. Faculty who successfully complete the workshop are eligible for compensation at their NTA rate for 10 hours (up to $550). For more information, see the description on our webpage which also contains the registration link, confer with your chair about participating, and register here by December 1, 2022.
Note that if faculty completed this workshop in the last 3 years (2019-2022), they cannot retake it and we encourage them to schedule a course design consultation with our office. For new faculty, all hiring paperwork must be completed with HR before the workshop start date for faculty to participate in the workshop.
Feel free to share the message with your colleagues who could benefit from taking this workshop! Please do not hesitate to email me directly if you or any of your colleagues have any questions about this workshop.
Note this workshop is facilitated by Dr. Susan Ko, Faculty Development Consultant in the Office of Online Education. Dr. Ko is the author of Teaching Online: A Practical Guide (4th edition), a leading book in the field of online teaching and learning. Dr. Ko developed the workshop while working at CUNY’s School of Professional Studies as the Director of Faculty Development and Instructional Technology. The workshop is largely based on her book and her experience supporting faculty teaching online at several institutions. Dr. Ko also teaches Humanities and Asian Studies courses online for the University of Maryland Global Campus, USA.
