SUMMARY:Teaching Portfolio Workshop 2023
DESCRIPTION:The Teaching Portfolio is a valuable tool that asks us to look more closely at what we do in the classroom. Often referred to as a “Reflective” Teaching Portfolio\, we view this document not only as a means to record our teaching experience\, but as a way to reflect on what makes each of us effective in the classroom\, and what we can do to continually improve our experience and the experience of our students. The workshop will include a series of presentations\, group discussions\, and periods set aside for writing. This year’s workshop will take place over 2-1/2 days at the end of the semester (all sessions virtual — Zoom) \n\n\n\nAll workshop dates: \n\n\n\nWednesday\, May 24\, 9:30 am – 4:30 pmThursday\, May 25\, 9:30 am – 4:30 pmTuesday\, May 30\, 9:30 – 11:30 am \n\n\n\nFor questions please email facultycommons@citytech.cuny.edu. \n\n\n\nPlease register below and a link will be sent a few days prior to the workshop. \n\n\n\n\nRegister

SUMMARY:Call for Artwork: Hip Hop & the Latinx Community
DESCRIPTION:Since its inception in The Bronx\, New York in 1973\, hip-hop—the music\, the culture\, and the lifestyle—has become a dominant force that has impacted the globe. Be it in film\, fashion\, or politics\, hip-hop’s undeniable stamp on individual and community expression stems from its diverse\, diasporic influences.   \n\n\n\nInspired by this diversity\, the African American Studies Department and the Hispanic-Serving Institutions Committee will sponsor a library exhibit to jointly celebrate 50 years of hip-hop and Hispanic Heritage Month.  \n\n\n\nWe invite submissions from the City Tech community of creative work (photos\, drawings\, and other forms of images) that connects or is in conversation with hip-hop in the Latinx community.    \n\n\n\nSelected works will be on display in the 2023 Hispanic Heritage Month Library Exhibit and on the HSI Committee OpenLab site.  \n\n\n\nDeadline to submit: May 31\, 5pm  \n\n\n\nGoogle Form: https://tinyurl.com/5e9p25fd \n\n\n\nView flyer

It requires a concerted effort from developers\, policymakers\, and users to ensure AI is a force for positive change and not a source of discriminatory practices.  Please join us for an exciting discussion with Mutale Nkonde\, Leader of AI For The People as she discusses algorithmic bias and its influence in higher education. Mutale will also discuss her work around informing policies to ensure discriminatory practices are not enshrined in our institutions that increasingly rely on AI to communicate with the public. The discussion will be led by COMD Professor George Garrastegui\, Jr.
