The Academic Ecosystems of CUNY Students: “As long as I could sit, I’ll study”
January 22, 2015 @ 9:30 am - 10:30 am
When: January 22, 2015 @ 9:30 – 10:30am
Where: Amphitheater Auditorium
All Welcome.
DESCRIPTION:
As commuter students, our CUNY undergraduates are constantly on the move, and they may find themselves studying as much off-campus as on. With the complexities of their college, family, work, and personal lives, our students must employ various strategies to find time and space just to be students: from scouting out book-filled, distraction-free libraries; to coping with the time and crowding of urban commuting; to negotiating with family over shared space and technology at home. The constraints that our students are under may not be visible to us as faculty, administrators, and staff, yet they may greatly affect student engagement in their academic work.
