The University Worth Fighting For event series asks tough questions of the academy and pushes for change.

Courses

One of the Futures Initiative’s key program areas is a unique set of interdisciplinary, inter-institutional team-taught courses.

Research

We research matters related to equity, diversity, technology, and public support in higher education.

Our leadership and peer mentoring program reconnects liberal arts teaching and learning with the “new majority” of undergraduate college students.

Our Fellows gain experience in collaboration and creative problem-solving through our work.

We partner with HASTAC (Humanities, Arts, Science, and Technology Alliance and Collaboratory) and the CUNY Humanities Alliance.
