Academic Mindset: We Belong Here

By Ewa Barnes on August 23, 2019 1

If we want students to believe in themselves and in BMCC, and if we want students to believe that the assigned coursework is important, we must first create a learning community. My experience has taught me that this community should resemble a (happy) family: we don’t always agree with one another, but we know that our voice matters, that it will be heard.

Double Portrait, the upcoming exhibit at BMCC's Shirley Fiterman Art Center, is designed to open a conversation not only about issues in contemporary art, but also about such topics as identity, women’s studies, and subjectivity and the self. We invite you and your students to contribute to this cultural conversation.

Enlivening Old Texts through Performance-Based Learning

Fulbright Adds Value and Meaning to an Academic Career

By Elizabeth Whitney on May 1, 2019 1

The most exciting and rewarding experience of my academic career thus far was being awarded a Fulbright Fellowship. I spent the 2015-2016 academic year at University of Turku in Finland, and this award set me on a path that I could not have anticipated, and for which I could not be more thankful. I encourage my colleagues to explore the multitude of possibilities for Fulbright awards.

Mindfulness for Faculty

By R. Shane Snipes on March 15, 2019 4

Mindfulness is reflected in the level of focus, attention, and awareness we bring to our daily interactions with our self, others, and the world around us. Over time, it becomes a space that teacher and student can observe together.
