[SADivision 0344] Save the Date: Queens College Hosting Annual CUNY BMI Conference on Friday, October 2nd
by Irving R Uribe 11 Feb '20

11 Feb '20

SAVE THE DATE: The 2020 CUNY BMI Conference will be held at Queens College on Friday, October 2nd. >From University Director, Shawn C. Best: Our conference this year will be the 15th year anniversary of the beginning of CUNY BMI, and will be a very special year. We will collaborate with My Brother's Keeper and NYC Men Teach to bring the most comprehensive conference we've ever had. Our theme for this year is "The State of Black Males In New York City". To be clear, when we use the term 'Black', this refers to African-American, African, Caribbean, Latino and other students who identify as Black and male. We believe that an inclusive conference provides the most comprehensive information necessary to bridge our networks and expand educational opportunities in our communities. With that said, CUNY BMI has women, transgender, non-gender conforming and other students and partners who benefit from the services we provide. The CUNY Black Male Initiative is a University-wide student development initiative with more than 30 projects focused on increasing matriculation, retention and graduation rates of underrepresented students, particularly men of color. CUNY BMI is one expression of CUNY's commitment to access and diversity. CUNY BMI projects are open to all academically eligible students, faculty and staff, without regard for race, gender or national origin. (Anticipated General Registration available 7/31: $100 Early Bird until August 31st $150 Starting on September 1) CUNY and DOE Registration: FREE (contact information forthcoming for Group Reservations)

[SADivision 0340] Please Help Us Get Responses to the Student Survey on Transfer!
by Irving R Uribe 03 Feb '20

03 Feb '20

Dear Campus Leaders, IR Directors, TOP Team Members, and Additional People Interested in Student Transfer, Please encourage ALL matriculated CUNY undergraduates to complete our survey on transfer (funded by the federal Institute of Education Sciences)! All matriculated CUNY undergrads should have received today an email from helpstudentstransfersurvey(a)CUNY.EDU<mailto:helpstudentstransfersurvey@CUNY.EDU> (sent to the addresses students have told CUNY they prefer) asking them to fill out our survey on transfer. We need responses from all students in order to compare the views and experiences of students who have transferred (or intend to) with other students. Students who do the survey can win one of 100 $50 Amazon gift cards. We need a high response rate to have valid results. While the survey is out in the field, we will send you updates on the response rates, separated by college. Please help make sure that your college looks good on these reports! Here is some information about the three sections of the survey that was previously sent by Executive Vice Chancellor and University Provost José Luis Cruz to all of the Presidents: (1) The General Background section asks students questions concerning their work, commute to campus, children, on-campus child care, marital status, and food and housing conditions. (2) The General Situation in College section asks students questions about their educational goals, experience registering for classes and meeting with an advisor, and perceived degree of belongingness. This section also asks students questions about their current and previous enrollment, if any. (3) The Transfer section asks students questions about where and when they have acquired necessary information about transfer, and their experience applying to transfer, getting courses evaluated, registering for classes, and acquiring support once at their new colleges. This section also asks questions that test students' knowledge about different aspects of the transfer process. If you would like any further information about the survey, please contact me or the survey administrator, Stephanie Abbeyquaye (Stephanie.Abbeyquaye(a)cuny.edu<mailto:Stephanie.Abbeyquaye@cuny.edu>). Students who don't have or who have misplaced the email with their survey link, or who have questions about the survey, should write to helpstudentstransfersurvey(a)CUNY.EDU<mailto:helpstudentstransfersurvey@CUNY.EDU> . Please feel free to forward this message and/or the email addresses wherever they might be useful. Nationally, 80% of new community college freshmen report that they want at least a bachelor's degree, but six years later only 17% have done so. At CUNY those values are 87% and 11%. Our goal with this survey and our other transfer work is to identify and address the leaks in the transfer pipeline, including the variables associated with those leaks. Thank you so much for your help with this endeavor, one that is so essential to student success. Sincerely, Lexa Alexandra W. Logue Research Professor Center for Advanced Study in Education Graduate Center, CUNY [cid:image001.png@01D5D55C.6B9545B0] [cid:image002.png@01D5D55C.6B9545B0]
