MESSAGE FROM INTERIM PRESIDENT DAISY COCCO DE FILIPPIS
My Dear Colleagues and Students,

Another week brings us closer to the end of this academic semester and academic year. Schedules are filled with multiple celebrations and obligations being met, as we envision moving toward an academic year in what we hope would be a gradually increasing post-pandemic world. 
 
Considering the changes brought about by the pandemic and the shifting needs and modalities will inform the conversations and discussions that will guide work at Hostos, sister community colleges and other educational institutions of higher learning in the months and years to come.

Georgetown University’s Center on Education and the Workforce, McCourt School of Public Policy, published recently a monograph titled “The Overlooked Value of Certificates and Associate Degrees, What Students Need to Know before They Go to College,” by Anthony P. Carnevale et al. I recommend reading it as it brings together the insights we have with new perspectives. See link here.

As I considered a number of conversations I’ve had recently with colleagues at Hostos and at CUNY, I share a few reflections and policy recommendations in the Carnevale monograph that resonated with me:

“Education beyond high school is now the preferred currency for workers seeking economic opportunity in the US labor market. Since the 1980s, the bachelor’s degree has been the gold standard for stable employment and lifetime earnings and the most promising route to the middle class. But it’s not the only route.” P. 1

“Middle skills programs are distinctive in their diversity, and so are the students who enrolled in them.” P.2

“The middle-skills pathway-between a high school diploma and a bachelor’s degree-is often overlooked.” P. 2

“Ultimately, the most valuable education over the long term is the one that provides the most marketable combination of specific and general skills.” P. 3

”To succeed in the modern economy, students need a mix of specific and general education skills.” P.3

“Understanding the labor-market value of the various kinds of certificates and associate degrees is crucial.” P. 4

“Certificate and associate degree programs disproportionately enroll racial and ethnic minorities. P.5

“Without an improved understanding of the educational and economic value of the full range of credentials on the middle-skills pathway, policy makers and higher education leaders risk formulating public policy that excludes a large segment of students.” P. 6

“Going forward, the focus of educators and policy makers should be on strengthening all pathways to and through college.” P. 12

“The federal government needs to establish strong gainful employment standards for career oriented postsecondary programs that are closely connected to jobs.” P. 23

Policy recommendations include:
  1. “Increase transparency about post-college outcomes, including employment and earnings;” 
  2. “Strengthen accountability for career-oriented programs;”
  3. “In order for their students to qualify for federal Pell Grants, short-term certificate programs should be required to meet accountability benchmarks and provide robust information about their labor-market outcomes;”
  4. “Stronger pathways to higher levels of attainment will be critical if we are to ensure equity in educational and career outcomes.” pp 33-35.

Once you read the article, I welcome your sharing your favorite findings and your feedback as well as a conversation around how you see some of these findings and recommendations will impact each of our individual and collective work moving forward.

Mil gracias y bendiciones, Daisy

A POEM TO HONOR RAMADAN DURING THIS PERIOD OF SPIRITUAL GROWTH
Stone
By Brynn Saito 
 
Between the turtle rock and the crane rock
the children found me. I was shining and smooth
and silent about my secrets. One day above me
men with bony shoulders came and built the barracks.
Then I couldn’t see the sky for the rising camps
and I couldn’t feel the winds which whipped
between the ranges and I couldn’t see the ranges.
After a short time, voices moved in and I heard singing.
Months later, dancing. But mostly what caught me
was the quiet, concentrated chatter of elders:
How long before a working stove? How to make a garden
in this cradle of limestone? How to coax a stream
from the highest of peaks in the freest of nations
in this nation we sought for the blinding?
Some days no one heard the tears but I felt them.
They coated me like evidence of a prior sea.
I thought: this must be how the humans felt
when the rains broke above them every two hundred days
and the waters for once didn’t leak through their roofs
and they were happy.

A MESSAGE FROM THE PRESIDENT OF THE STUDENT GOVERNMENT ASSOCIATION BRIAN CARTER
Good day colleagues, 

We have begun the countdown to the conclusion of the semester. These past two weeks have been riveting. I know midterms were on everyone’s mind and I commend our student body on keeping a supreme focus on finishing strong.  

The SGA was informed of a program proposed by the State for returning fall semester students. If you have registered for the fall semester and have an outstanding balance, you may be eligible for certain funds after satisfying the criteria of the Minority Serving Hispanic Institutions Act. This will help qualifying candidates going forward. As we learn more, I will share more with all of you. 

Students interested in receiving a free vaccination may apply at Walk-Ins.com. By entering your ZIP code, you will be directed to a site that is located within your area and able to accommodate you best.  

Come out and participate in our ongoing workshop series entitled “Let’s talk about it,” in the month of May where we will be talking about racism given all the tension and social unrest happening in our communities since the death of George Floyd.

The SGA is glad to provide students an opportunity to vent and discuss in a safe space with the guidance of our own Tovah Thompson and Michael Martínez from the Hostos Counseling Center. 

Last but not least, I would like to also highlight and commend two wonderful women I didn’t get an opportunity to include in my last week’s address—my apologies. I would like to acknowledge our beloved Dean Gómez, who has welcomed me and my colleagues with open arms and does a lot of hard work behind the scenes bringing Hostos Community College to the forefront of recognition despite the pandemic. Dean Gómez has really stepped up her game and makes sure that everyone is on point for any and every meeting. She makes sure that students remain in great academic standing, and is always looking out for anyone that needs direction. For these accomplishments I wanted to recognize her as well as for being the wonderful woman that she continues to be. 

I must also acknowledge another wonderful woman, no other than Senior Vice President of Administration & Finance Esther Rodríguez-Chardavoyne. She has been responsible for formulating strategies to minimize the impact on teaching and learning regardless of budget constraints. Under her supervision, the massive upgrade of outdated technology within the College has made Hostos a leader in the CUNY system in the use of current and cutting-edge technology. She always has Hostos’ best interest in mind.

MIDDLE STATES SELF-STUDY UPDATE
Submitted by MSCHE Steering Committee Co-Chairs Professor Kate S. Wolfe and Professor Nelson Nuñez-Rodríguez

A Spotlight on New Ways of Planning and Operating

The Accreditation Self-Study Standard IV evaluates processes designed to enhance the successful achievement of students’ educational goals. In this regard, Hostos Academic Fall Planning takes place in a singular scenario as the college imagines teaching and student support modalities compatible with current realities. These new realities create opportunities. The present collective efforts and new ways of communication addressing the next academic term represents a fertile arena to propose ideas against the conventional understanding in order to create an enriched academic experience for our students. Middle States want to see all of our transforming efforts navigating current scenarios.
 
Definitely, new realities require new ways of thinking and acting. Indeed, even though the design of Covid-19 mRNA vaccines took hours for Pfizer/BioNTech and two days for Moderna companies after the Chinese scientific community posted the virus genetic sequence, all of these were possible because the persistence, willingness to fail and unconventional thinking of Dr. Katalin Kariko. She was convinced mRNA could be used to instruct cells to make their own medicines, including vaccines as a recent NY Times article described. Dr. Kariko overcame many obstacles and conventional ways of thinking and processing to demonstrate that mRNA could be the weapon to defeat the virus. Recently, as Dr. Anthony Fauci, director of the National Institute of Allergy and Infectious Diseases, expressed, her work laid an exciting groundwork for other vaccines such as H.I.V., Influenza and malaria.
 
Similar to this new horizon in the vaccine field, the quality and dedication of our professionals in the Student Support Area represent our best asset to integrate existing practices and reimagine our ways of operating regarding academic planning and student support. There is a new dawn in the horizon if we work together institutionalizing lessons learned during this period. Dr. Kariko’s passion and tenacity to build knowledge without caring for fame reminds us of our daily mission. On November 8, she just ate an entire box of Goobers chocolate-covered peanuts by herself when Pfizer/BioTech announced mRNA vaccine triggered powerful immunity. Likewise, our dedicated professionals in enrollment, admission and advisement show daily passion and tenacity to pave a different future for our students.
 
INSTITUTIONAL EFFECTIVENESS
Submitted by Babette Audant, Assistant Dean for Institutional Effectiveness, Strategic Planning and Assessment

Envisioning assessment as an institution-wide habit (just do it)

In the wake of her mother’s death, my cousin decided to run every day of 2020, with the goal of covering 2020 km. I followed her progress, and her brief reflections on Instagram, appreciating the particular perspective she shared of Oslo, where she lives.

On December 29, two days before we slammed the door on 2020, I decided to run every day. No reason other than having no reason not to do it. And so I did, lacing up on cold mornings, joining the other daily runners on the path by the Hudson, and finding a great deal of reason not to stop, appreciating the time and space defined by the familiar miles up and down the river. I can still my mind best in motion. And, the routine nature of this habit saves me from deciding whether to run or not; I just do it (sorry, Nike).

Covering the same path over and again is an invitation to see it for its differences, some dramatic (nine trees in a clearing felled during a wind storm that approached tornado speeds), most incremental. Assessment invites us to do something similar in establishing a routine, a schedule, for looking at familiar terrain over and again, repeating steps in a cycle. By becoming routine, there’s no longer a question of whether we do assessment or not, and, with repetition, what was once hard, or unfamiliar, is anticipated.

I’ll abandon this extended metaphor for now, while sticking to this idea of the importance of routine in systematic assessment: as an institution, we’re in the process of implementing new processes. There is a lot to learn: new vocabulary, new template. New task forces and new expectations. Although there is much that is familiar (past practice has informed the new), there is a degree of vulnerability we’re asking of one another as we implement systematized assessment practices across Gen Ed, academic programs, and AES units.

For every day there’s a revelation, there will be days when doing assessment is about as inviting as running in sleet (then again, I like running in sleet). And slogging through is going to be part of this journey. Those are the days when the fact of a routine will keep us on track. The revelations are the moments to celebrate, when assessment informs changes that ensure curricula deliver what they’re designed to, when there’s learning to be shared among colleagues that shapes future plans, when we see the connection between support provided, and students’ success. And, like a habit of daily running, with routine, it becomes easier and easier to push past the usual, and ask new questions through assessment, develop sophistication in analyzing data, and look at correlations and intersections.

If this sounds loopy, so be it. The commitment made across this college to implement systematized, organized assessment has been remarkable. It’s growing a cohort of practitioners who will become experts. It’s normalizing the routine of assessment so that it will, one day, no longer puncture regular operations, but become a practice we incorporate into our work, learning we learn to anticipate, and—here’s the beauty—no finish line, because there isn’t one. The terrain will shift, and with it the invitation to continue asking questions, remain curious, and sustain that forward momentum.

III. Last week, Hostos submitted an application for a community project funding request to upgrade our computer technology through the office of Congressman Ritchie Torres. This is a highly competitive, national application process. We do not know if the Hostos application will be successful, but we do know we garnered a lot of support from our local elected officials. Thank you to State Senator José M. Serrano, Assemblymember Amanda Septimo, Council Member Rafael Salamanca, State Senator Gustavo Rivera, Assemblyman Jeff Dinowitz, Assemblymember Karines Reyes, Assemblymember Robert Rodríguez, Council Member Vanessa Gibson, Council Member Diana Ayala, Council Member Fernando Cabrera, Council Member Ydanis Rodríguez, State Senate Higher Education Committee Chair Toby Ann Stavisky, and City Council Higher Education Committee Chair Inez Barron, as well as former Obama White House official Mr. Elias Alcantara, all of whom provided glowing letters of support for the Hostos application.

Update from Roundtable #2: Networking to Create Opportunities for Hostos Students

On March 22, 2021, we led a great virtual roundtable as part of the Hostos Community Advisory Council outreach and relationship building efforts that are taking place thanks to the stewardship of Hostos Interim President Daisy Cocco De Filippis.
 
About 20 community and Hostos leaders joined the interactive and engaging roundtable discussion that yielded innovative and actionable ideas to create more opportunities for Hostos students. 
 
Since then, we held several follow-up conversations with the intention of establishing a stronger network of businesses and nonprofits that can provide opportunities, including paid internships or jobs, to Hostos students, aligned with their areas of concentration or extracurricular interests.
 
Below we outline the proposed ideas, next steps, and comprehensive notes from both the March session and subsequent one-on-one talks:
 
  • Organize networking events to source potential partner-employers. Create a prospective partners list of small businesses and larger corporations from various industries, and from manufacturing, wholesale, retail, construction, and professional services.

Source of potential employers: 
 
  1. Partner with existing donors (Division of Institutional Advancement)
  2. Foundation Board Members 
  3. Community Advisory Council
  4. Third Avenue BID
  5. Bronx Chamber of Commerce
  6. New York City Hispanic Chamber of Commerce

  • Establish a mentoring program that focuses empowering students within organizations they intern or work at. Pick three to five companies to establish a pilot program.

  • Introduce and host collaborative meetings between potential employers and the Career Services office to understand their hiring needs and how to send quality referrals.
  • Request that faculty incorporate engaging with Career Services as a vital component of the learning journey on their syllabus.
 
These are just some of the things on the table. We welcome your feedback and the opportunity to talk more to put some of these ideas into action as soon as possible.
NEWS FROM THE DIVISION OF ACADEMIC AFFAIRS
Submitted by Acting Provost and Vice President of Academic Affairs, Dr. Charles I. Drago
 
Since Fall 2016, Hostos students have been using the online Hostos bookstore powered by Akademos. With this software, students can access the online marketplace which helps them find competitive prices on the textbooks required for their course. 
 
Each semester faculty submit textbook information into the system for each of their course sections. The college is required to complete 95% of the adoptions each semester. When faculty enter their textbook adoptions, students are immediately made aware of the academic costs associated with studying at Hostos. 
 
Additionally, Hostos faculty and administrators become more aware of textbook costs, and many have taken initiative to identify less expensive, but no less in quality, required materials. Simultaneously, the Open Educational Resources (OER) movement implemented across CUNY has helped degree programs like Early Childhood Education reduce their overall textbook costs for students, considerably.
 
The Office of Academic Affairs proudly congratulates the Allied Health Department faculty for completing 100% of textbook adoptions for summer 2021. Forty-six percent (46%) of adoptions have been completed overall. A total of 126 sections are planned for the summer session.
