What is the university you want? Transformative Learning in the Humanities (TLH) is hosting a full-day virtual summit showcasing creative, multimodal presentations from CUNY students to answer this question.
RSVP for Zoom connection details.
We’ve asked CUNY students to think about what their college community needs most, and to imagine resources that would improve their social learning experience and academic life. To dream of safe spaces where respect, communication, and transparency are valued. To envision a stripped-down version of the faculty-student relationship, where faculty are better resourced themselves to be able to put students’ needs first. To conceive of concrete ways in which CUNY administration can better respond to issues raised by students. For the Spring 2023 Student Summit, a one-day virtual gathering, CUNY’s TLH program will provide a platform upon which students from all backgrounds can speak freely about what their institution is missing, and can talk back to their university.
