  Working as a designer with the Faculty Commons design team has taught me how to use my time management, multitasking and communication skills efficiently. Through these experiences, I later became project manager and art director for multiple projects throughout my time here, along with the support of my amazing peers in the Faculty Commons Design Team. A few projects and events that I have worked on are Project Wayfinding, CUNY CUE Conference, Welcome Week, PLAN Week and many more to come!

  Kevin Rajaram

  College Assistant | Webmaster

  As a webmaster, I oversee and maintain the Faculty Commons website to make sure content is up-to-date and correct. Faculty Commons has allowed me to build great communication and working skills with colleagues and faculty. It has also helped with my time management skills, as several projects are being worked on simultaneously and need to be managed in a timely manner to meet deadlines. My aspirations for the future is to be a better web developer and designer that pushes the boundaries of what can be achieved on the web. One aspect of my character that I would like someone to know is that I like to do urban photography!
