MESSAGE
FROM
THE
DIRECTOR
Dear Friends,
Anyone who has par ticipated in deep community-campus par tnerships knows
how challenging and rewarding this work can be for those who decide to
engage. It asks much of each par ticipant: a special kind of creative talent, sense
of hope, generosity of spirit, structure, respect, resourcefulness, and a firm
dedication to making it work.
This year marks the 10th anniversar y of Engaged Scholarship programming at
City College. The rich community of engaged scholarship faculty at the Colin Powell
School, and across the City College campus is truly inspiring. Since our ser vicelearning programs launched through the Colin Powell Center in 2005, and as
we built out our offerings in Public Scholarship and Community-Based Research,
we have enjoyed suppor ting numerous faculty-led projects and par tnerships
with over 65 faculty and 80 organizations.
Throughout these years, we have been extremely for tunate to ser ve and
work up close with a wide array of faculty, depar tments, divisions, students and
community par tners as they sor t through the development of mutually wthat
have led to extraordinar y outcomes. Mobilizing academic exper tise and making
it more accessible to local neighborhoods and citizens has been the thrust of
our work over the last year.
We are delighted to have this oppor tunity to showcase some of our most
exciting highlights and celebrate the accomplishments of these amazing individuals!
This repor t ser ves to provide just a few examples of the potential present in this
work for all members of the CCNY community.

Genea Stewart,
Director of Office of Engaged Scholarship

TACKLING HOUSING
ISSUES IN HARLEM
How the Campus and Community
are Collaborating for Change

Why have rampant housing issues become

so commonplace here in Harlem? The
fact that local families are living in horrid
conditions like holes in the ceiling, leaks,
dangerous exposed wires and unreliable
heat and hot water, or that residents
are being forced out so that higher-income
tenants can be ushered in, is not news
anymore. It may be news to learn that right
here in Harlem, the Colin Powell School
has created an award for faculty seeking to
explore interdisciplinar y community-based
research to address these injustices. This
past year, long-time activist and scholar John
Krinsky, was awarded the Office of Engaged
Scholarships Collaborative Research
for Social Impact (CRSI) grant. Krinsky, an
Associate Professor of Political Science,
and his cross-campus research team,
developed a series of courses that
cultivated students academic and personal
skills by learning about policymaking and
redevelopment in the community, and
by collaborating with New York City
Community Land Initiative (NYCCLI).
Krinsky taught his Urban Politics course
with a focus on the politics of policymaking
in New York City with NYCCLI engaging
with the students throughout the semester
as co-educators. Working from the ground
up, students conducted sur veys with
residents in current and former city-owned

buildings in the neighborhood that were

candidates for joining a CLT, research that
is crucial for the initiative. In the space
of four weeks and two sur vey sessions a week,
the students knocked on doors in a dozen
buildings and increased sur vey numbers almost
three-hundred percent, meaning that they
got close to a number of sur veys from
which they would be comfor table making
more general statements about affordability
thresholds and housing conditions among
the tenants and their apar tments.

buildings and increased
survey numbers almost
three-hundred percent.

Hillar y Caldwell, a graduate student at The

Graduate Center and a Co-Project Investigator
alongside Krinsky, taught a course on Policy
and Planning to a class of Macaulay Honors
College (MHC) students. By connecting teams
of student-researchers with stakeholders in
the East Harlem-El Barrio/NYCCLI process and
staff from Picture the Homeless, students
documented and learned about their priorities

and roles in the CLT-development process

both as a par t of the larger conversations that
surround East Harlem redevelopment and
rezoning and as par t of the ongoing institutional
organizing effor t of NYCCLL. Both courses
developed students leadership, research and
interpersonal skills while assisting the
community in taking steps towards awareness,
understanding and action.

a good dealthe initial sur vey findings have

been impor tant in the outreach to the city and
it provided the class with a common lens with
which they could interpret the course material.
Several students from both courses have
expressed interest in applying for internships
and volunteer oppor tunities over the summer
with Picture the Homeless.

I never expected a policy class to be so handson and go into such depth outside of the
classroom, said Ashwini Chawla, a Macaulay
Honors student taking Caldwells class.
Uwagbae Eweka, a Colin Powell Fellow and
student in Krinskys class, agrees that the
experience outside of the classroom makes
these courses unique. The community par tners
really helped me to think about how to apply
my interpersonal skills to get more par ticipation
in our data gathering effor ts.

In the coming fall semester, Adrienne Petty, the

third Co-Project Investigator and Associate
Professor of City Colleges Histor y depar tment,
will lend her exper tise to this CRSI project
via an Oral Histor y course focusing on
documenting development and displacement in
Harlem. Through this course, which will be open
to traditional students, neighborhood activists
and grassroots organizers, Petty will teach
oral histor y techniques to use stor ytelling to
help build a record of community preser vation
struggles and document NCYCLIs work.

Krinsky says the grant allowed a mutuallybeneficial relationship to blossom and that
the ser vice learning component was a
huge success. The exercise helped NYCCLI

CRSI faculty are continuing to explore new

models for connecting research and advocacy
in order to increase suppor t for tenants
plagued by these distressing housing conditions.

student in her junior year at City College.

Civic and Global Leadership at the City College of New York
COURSE TITLE: Urban Politics | 26 Students
OVERVIEW: Students in this course learned interpersonal
strategies to elicit reliable responses on surveys and how to
evaluate the limits and strengths of community surveys ability
to capture politically relevant information. They also connected
community needs represented in survey data to policy history
and theories of policymaking. Students also analyzed survey
results qualitatively and quantitatively to ultimately produce a
diverse set of presentation media for the dissemination of
political/social analysis with the community partner NYCCLI.

ADRIENNE PETTY
Associate Professor, History,
Division of Humanities at The City College of New York
COURSE TITLE: Oral History: Documenting Anti-Gentrification
in Harlem (Scheduled for Fall 2015)
OVERVIEW: Through this course, students acquire hands-on
experience designing an oral history project and conducting oral
history interviews using professional recording equipment. As
interviewers, students will hone their oral communication skills,
particularly the art of listening, posing open-ended questions,
and asking follow-up questions. They will also gain familiarity with
the ethical, cultural, and legal obligations of oral historians, and
receive valuable training in human subject research. Finally, students
will have first-hand experience extending their knowledge beyond
the boundaries of the classroom, and using it to document and
promote a significant social and political movement.

HILLARY CALDWELL
PhD Student, Environmental Psychology, CUNY Graduate Center
COURSE TITLE: Shaping the Future of NYC | 22 Students
OVERVIEW: In this class, students developed an understanding
of how the power to shape New York City is unevenly distributed
across the citys people, built environment, and institutions. They
learned how to read maps critically and to represent data spatially.
Students learned the format, content and uses of white papers
and learned how to craft policy testimony; they worked
collaboratively with multiple media to develop innovative project
deliverables for community partners. They also had the opportunity
to apply critical reading skills to public policies and practices.
These skills will enhance the overall goal of enabling students to
engage in key contemporary debates about the future of the city.

VOICES
FROM THE
COMMUNITY

How Non-Profit Leaders

are Helping to Shape
Student Success
The Office of Engaged Scholarship (OES)
recently initiated a sur vey project which began
with the idea of reaching out to our par tners in
NYMAPS. NYMAPS is a network of college
programs and community-based organizations
dedicated to realizing the civic mission of higher
education and to advancing ser vice-learning,
community-based par ticipator y research and
public scholarship. The OES wanted to learn
about our par tners experiences in working
with interns and get an idea of how our
par tners felt about these collaborations, what
makes these connections efficient (or
inefficient), what methods of management are
our par tners utilizing to guide and super vise
students as well as what type of students are
these organizations searching for.
Through inter views and analysis, our discoveries
highlighted cer tain widespread successes such

as the level of integration and growth as well as

determining common challenges like scheduling
conflicts and miscommunication between intern
super visors and the program managers at the
colleges. The data suggested that correlations
existed between organization size, intern
responsibility, management style, and intern
proficiency. Unique ideas that were presented
by our community based par tners, such as
inter viewing and hiring students as interns and
then building projects based on their strengths
(rather than having a project in mind and finding
an intern to work on it), proved to be
innovative and effective.
Attention to a student interns strengths is the
best way to optimize their time, while careful
management of their growth in knowledge and
skills optimizes their experience. Both of these
things require patience and effor t. Interns
provide extra hands and can improve efficiency
but it is when staff is receptive to their
perspectives, backgrounds, and ideas that the
experience generates amazing projects and
lasting effects on both the individual and the
program.
The project allowed the collective experience
of a community to inform the OES on what
kind of internships our school should offer and
consider ways to foster those experiences.

ACADEMIC LEADERSHIP
IN WASHINGTON HEIGHTS
Opening the Doors to an Examination of Past
and Present Dominican Cultural Experiences
Nunca supe que esto estaba aqu, said
Daphne. I never knew all of this was here.
Qu edificio es ese? asked Margarita.
What building is that?
The lively group of seniors peered out of the
bus windows onto Convent Avenue. As they
exited the bus, staff ushered them into the
Nor th Academic Center and up the escalator
to the Rotunda, where they were immediately
lost in the beat of the music, the aroma of
baked cookies for sale, and the sight of students
talking, laughing, dancing and relaxing during
club activity hours. At the welcome reception,
held at the CUNY Dominican Studies Institute
Librar y and Archives, the group was met by

This visit was arranged as the final presentation,
capping off a year of bi-lingual, interdisciplinar y
dialogues var ying in topic, from cultural
identity, to local politics, and Dominican poetr y.
The series is par t of The Public Scholarship
Initiative, a multi-pronged effor t led by the
Office of Engaged Scholarship (OES), to
facilitate faculty development and promote
a mutually beneficial exchange of knowledge
between the academy and the community.
And, for the first time, the CCNY student body
actively par ticipated in the conversation, with
leaders of the Dominican Student Association
(DSA) presenting personal perspectives and
gaining insights on contemporar y immigration
and integration concerns.
It ser ved as a way to bridge generations and
taught me so much about my culture, said
Stephanie Veras, the DSA president going into
her senior year. Stephanie and the DSA plan
to visit with the seniors at their center in the
near future to continue the passing of cultural
histor y and wisdom.
Prior to this spring visit, the seniors were visited
at the Washington Heights YM-YWHAs Center
for Adults Living Well by a core group of faculty
who volunteered to share their time to help
build out an ecosystem of knowledge through
shared research and provocative dialogues.

LUNCH AND LEARN

WORKSHOP SERIES
The day of the typical faculty member is full of
numerous responsibilities and obligations, from
conducting research to teaching and advising
students, committee work in ser vice of the
institution. Any spare time that a faculty
member devotes to his or her own intellectual
enrichment is extremely valuable. So, it is
impor tant that professional development
oppor tunities are carefully customized around
the interests of these [valued] potential
par ticipants.
The Lunch and Learn series is an element of the
Colin Powell Schools Public Scholarship
Initiative, designed to provide free oppor tunities
for City College faculty to enhance their ability
keep their research public, compelling, and
impact oriented. The Office of Engaged
Scholarship has organized two of these
enriching dialogues in the past year.
Jessie Daniels, a Professor of Public Health,
Sociology and Critical Psychology at the
Graduate Center and The CUNY School of
Public Health, took par t in our series to discuss
Reimagining Scholarly Communication for

Public Good, where she spoke about making

research accessible through innovative
techniques and using ar ticles, blogs and even
Twitter to bring academia into the spotlight.
For our second session, a panel of exper ts was
assembled to discuss Data Mapping and Design.
Chris Job, an Information Technology Associate
at City College, explained the benefits of GIS
mapping to manage, analyze, and present all
types of spatial or geographical data. Valeria
Mogilevich, Deputy Director of The Center for
Urban Pedagogy, discussed utilizing graphic
design to make research more accessible. And
Dr. Mar y Lutz, a lecturer at The Center for
Worker Education and at City College, talked
about her experience in having students
conduct community based research for
community boards.
By providing a free oppor tunity to learn about
theoretical concepts, practical skills and best
practices, and by providing a safe place to ask
questions, faculty and staff in attendance were
inspired and excited to implement what they
learned into their own work.

NYC AS A SHARED TEXT

The idea that New York City, itself can be a
prominent source of intellectual inspiration was
the basis for an exciting workshop this fall, New
York City as a Shared Text: Ar ts, Culture, and
Education. This session was developed to
inspire innovative teaching and research in the
community. A diverse array of faculty and staff
members throughout CCNY attended were
assisted in discovering new ways of engaging
students in the classroom through real-world
problem solving and connections between
research and practice on authentic, communityidentified needs.
The quar tet of guest presenters were made up
of familiar faces and members of our NYMAPS
cohor t. Ari Sussman, Director of The Student
Voice Collaborative, discussed his program and
the possibilities of education reform through
collaborative school review and improvement.
Christine Peng, Education Director at The
Maysles Documentar y Center, informed the

par ticipants of collaborative projects that can

exist where students and faculty work with the
center to create documentar y films that address
a variety of social issues and inspire dialogue
and action. David Fanning, Principal at A. Philip
Randolph High School talked about the success
of past collaborations with City College and
expressed the impor tance of continuing to
foster growth in Harlem youth through
exposure to the disciplines. And lastly, Heather
Montilla-Brooks, Executive Director at Doing
Ar t Together, explained how her organization
works to engage youth in the visual ar ts and
incorporate par tnerships with their educational
community.
Par ticipants left with information about best
practices in community-campus par tnerships
and access to technical assistance on course
and project design, interdisciplinar y networks,
and potential grant par tners for collaborations
in the future.

MOBILIZING EXPERTISE
Animal Rights Advocates Convene for a
Dialogue at City College
Ever y sixty
seconds, an
animal is abused
or beaten.
About 2,168,000
women and men
are physically
assaulted by an
intimate par tner
in the U.S.
ever y year with
71 percent
of domestic
violence victims repor t that their abuser
also targeted their animal.
The Office of Engaged Scholarship organized
and presented an interdisciplinar y dialogue
focusing on animal rights. Like minded
individuals throughout City College and
members of our community par tners were
assembled to discuss societys current
attitude towards animals and why animals
are significant in a public discussion: Where
Did Our Compassion Go? Children, Adults,
and the Loss of the Human-Animal Bond.
Bill Crain, Professor of Psychology and founder
of Safe Haven Farm Sanctuar y, spoke of
humanitys loss of compassion for animals
and his experiences running an animal
safe haven, where he provides a permanent
home to over 100 farmed animals rescued
from slaughter and abusive conditions. Jennifer
Mor ton, Assistant Professor of Philosophy,
contributed to the discussion by reflecting
on how treatment of animals is related to the
moral competence in children.

Nancy M. Cardwell, Assistant Professor at the

School of Education, talked about childhood
development and how our compassion for
animals is connected to our compassion for
each other. Brian Shapiro, New York State
Director of the Humane Society of the
United States, suggested a similar link: the link
between animal cruelty and human-on-human
violence. Both Cardwell and Shapiro touched
on recent studies that suggest a correlation
between cruelty against animals and child abuse.
Chris Parucci, Program Manager and Humane
Education Instructor at HEART explained his
organizations approach to teaching youth
about farm animals while Karen Davis, President
and Founder of United Poultr y Concerns,
took a deep dive into the idea of socialization.
An audience of almost for ty were able to ask
questions and contribute to the discussion in
the later par t of the forum. Daisy V. Domnguez,
Reference Librarian and Assistant Professor,
moderated the forum and believes it was an
amazing success. Domnguez, who recently
taught a course on Animal Welfare in Historical
Perspective, said It was amazing to see so many
people who care, especially the students.
Nancy Cardwell says the best par t was learning
even more about these issues from her peers.
Its even more impor tant than we think it is.
Animals are a par t of our lives in ways we
dont realize.
The professors and community par tners are
looking forward to future collaborations
and more ways to raise awareness on animal
rights issues.

THE JOURNEY OF
MAYRA GUERRERO

A Story of Passion, Practice and Persistence

The OES encourages community-based research, leadership development and faculty mentorship
so that our students can strive toward academic excellence and a life of service. There are many
students that achieve success and begin promising professional careers, but this is the
remarkable story of one student who waded through a diverse set of challenges and obstacles in
order to realize the public application of her discipline.

Mayra Guerrero is many things. She is a true

New Yorker, having grown up in the Bronx
and currently residing in Harlem. She is a 2014
City College graduate with a Bachelors in
Psychology. And like many City College students,
she balanced her work in the classroom with
her job in a restaurant as she pursued a degree.
But a Bachelors degree is only a single step in
the grander goal to which Mayra is committed.
Since her first semester at City College, the
thing that Mayra has wanted more than anything
is a PH.D in Community Psychology.
Mayra took classes at Borough of Manhattan
Community College before transferring to City
College, where she found herself in Professor
Glen Milsteins class. His course on the
Psychology of Immigration solidified her resolve
and introduced her to the mentor who would
help guide her on her journey. Mayra was

really rose up to each

She
and every challenge and
opportunity that fell
before her.

Professor Glen Milstein

15

admitted to the CCNY Psychology Honors

program as well as the CUNY Graduate Center
Pipeline Fellowship, an initiative designed to
suppor t students who are interested in
pursuing a Ph.D. Professor Milstein would take
on the role of faculty mentor to Mayra and
collaborate with her to conduct research.
She spent the next year exceling in her courses,
working full-time at a restaurant and conducting
research. With Professor Milsteins guidance,
she studied the staff at the restaurant where
she worked to learn more about the
relationship between stress and performance
for her independent study. Mayra also
volunteered here at CCNY with Dr. Denise
Hine in her lab studying trauma and addiction.
And it would be Professor Milstein who would
include her in his own endeavor that would
introduce her to her most extensive research
to date, research involving our veterans.
Professor Milstein connected with Leslie
Robinson, a CCNY Alumni, who founded
Warrior Spirit: Mission Homefront, a peer-topeer guided dialogue program designed to
help veterans avoid isolation and connect
with their loved ones by using a specialized
interactive card deck. Mayra would assist
Professor Milstein in evaluating the program.
They traveled and visited For t Drum in

upstate New York and For t Indiantown Gap in

Pennsylvania for the study. By inter viewing
three-hundred veterans, they were able to
assess how useful veterans found it, learn
why there is a reluctance to seek help from
professionals, and see if an informal dialogue
between veterans is a useful alternative.
But Mayra had a connection to the dialogue
program that made it more than just research.
He came back changed after the Army, Mayra
said of her older brother. She spent her teenage
years with her brother deployed and witnessed
the change slowly as he came back to visit. After
two tours, one in Iraq and one in Afghanistan,
Mayra says that he wasnt the same person.
He isolated himself and became a hermit.
Before, he was always joking and happy. He
was always kind of quiet but this was different,
says Mayra.
Her brother, who suffered from PTSD, would
tell his family to answer the phone and tell
his friends that he wasnt home. One friend,
a fellow army veteran, kept calling but never
got through. Months later, Mayra and her
family learned that her brothers friend
committed suicide.
The oppor tunity to conduct research on
something so significant to her propelled
Mayra toward her goal. Between class,
work and her research, she made time to find
ten Ph.D. programs across the countr y that she
was interested in. Professor Milstein put her in
touch with Adolfo Cuevas, a Ph.D. student
in the same field as Mayra and yet another
CCNY alumni. He would help Mayra work
through her applications. But she didnt get
accepted to any of them.
What was hard was the other students in the
pipeline program who are getting inter views
and responses. I only got rejection letters. Some
didnt even bother to respond, she said. Not

getting into any schools forced Mayra to think

about other paths and Professor Milstein
talked about different options. It was difficult
because it was a failure. It was something
I wanted so badly and it didnt happen.
But Mayra didnt give up. She spent the next
year completing her Pipeline thesis: Building
Resilience among National Guard Members:
A Community Based Program and her Honors
thesis: Evaluating the Efficacy of a Community
Based Program for National Guard Members.
She continued to work in the restaurant and
volunteer with Dr. Denise Hine as well as
collaborate with Professor Milstein. They
published an ar ticle on their research with the
veterans. And while she continued with all of
her work, she went back, with Adolfos
assistance, and created a stronger statement
of purpose and application. She applied to six
Ph.D. programs and was called for an inter view
at DePaul University in Chicago. Ner vous due
to knowing they only inter view ten students
and accept three, Mayra flew down to Chicago
and got to see the campus.
I was at a round table with the other
applicants, listening to them talk about where
they are from and what research they did.
I was just hoping I could make it. And a few
weeks later she was called with an offer to
join DePaul Universitys Ph.D. program in
Community Psychology. Professor Milstein
consistently played a role in her development
but feels she is the one who truly earned it.

MAYRA
GUERRERO
exemplifies everything
that the Office of
Engaged Scholarship
stands for and is
now one step closer
to reaching her goal
and starting her
promising career.

LOOKING
FORWARD
As we collectively move forward in the Colin
Powell School mission of civic and global
leadership, we will continue to shift from a
primar y focus on individual faculty development
and suppor t, to a critical investment in broad
oppor tunities for engaging faculty to suppor t
student success, advocacy effor ts and
community development.
A few key programs we hope to grow and
expand include our neighborhood-based Public
Scholarship Lecture Series and new ser vicelearning abroad oppor tunities that involve
local par tners.
Sustaining our nine-year-old NYMAPS
Collaborative, will also allow for continued
oppor tunities for cross-fer tilization of exper tise
and resource sharing around par tnerships and
evidence-based high impact practices for
student success.
We continue to welcome ideas and
oppor tunities for exploring innovative
collaborations within the Colin Powell School,
across the campus, the city and the global
community.
