Abstract
Our faculty development work as professors at CUNY brought us together (Carl, Susan, and Harriet) from our different campuses (Eugenio Maria de Hostos Community College, Lehman College, and Bronx Community College [BCC]) in search of a collaborative, intellectual space where, together, we would investigate two significant public works of art on the BCC and Lehman campuses. BCC and Lehman had just concluded a very successful 5-year Title V project where our faculties had many opportunities to interact around teaching techniques and student learning. Hostos faculty had participated in this Title V project as well. The cross-campus dialogue that took place over the course of the Title V grant enabled us to see the value of cross-campus faculty engagement, and Harriet set out to find another vehicle to keep the collaboration going.
