First Year Experience (FYE) Teaching Resources for Faculty
How can we contribute to student success–success not only academic, but also emotional and social–during their time at BMCC? Students’ first year experience is especially important in developing and nourishing their sense of purpose and belonging, their love of learning, access to services and resources, as well as students’ exploration of career paths and citizenship. This is the goal of FYE-embedded courses, and here is a resource site with relevant materials for faculty. We welcome contributions.
The online community for the BMCC Academic Senate.
BMCC Voices is an initiative of the BMCC OpenLab. Our goal is to share with the world how students experience their journey at BMCC through the lens of the entire college community, including teachers, staff, and, of course, students. If you are interested in sharing your story, send an email to bmcc.openlab.podcast@gmail.com.
Black Studies Across the Americas (BSAA)
This project is supported with U.S. Department of Education Title VI National Resource Center funding from the Center for Latin American Studies at The Ohio State University and the NYU Center for Latin American and Caribbean Studies as well as the the BMCC Dept. of Ethnic and Race Studies and the President’s Fund for Innovation and Excellence, funded by McKenzie Scott. BSAA faculty and student researchers create OERs to help integrate Black studies into disciplines that historically don’t address Blackness and questions of race and ethnicity. BSAA OERs are hosted here on the BMCC OpenLab to foster further collaboration and use of the OERs at BMCC and beyond.
