History

 
The Graduate Center is located in the former B. Altman and Company Building at 365 Fifth Avenue.
Main article: City University of New York § History

CUNY began offering doctoral education through its Division of Graduate Studies in 1961,[11] and awarded its first two Ph.D.s to Daniel Robinson and Barbara Stern in 1965. Robinson, formerly a professor of philosophy at the University of Oxford, received his Ph.D. in psychology,[12] while Stern, late of Rutgers University, received her Ph.D. in English literature.[13]

In 1969, the Division of Graduate Studies formally became the Graduate School and University Center.[14] Mathematician Mina S. Rees served as the institution's first president from 1969 until her retirement in 1972.[15] Rees was succeeded as president of the Graduate Center by environmental psychologist Harold M. Proshansky, who served until his death in 1990.[16] Provost Steven M. Cahn was named acting president in Spring 1991.[17] Psychologist Frances Degen Horowitz was appointed president in September, 1991.[18] In 2005, Horowitz was succeeded by the school's provost, Professor of English Literature William P. Kelly.[19]

During Kelly's tenure at the Graduate Center, the university saw significant growth in revenue, funding opportunities for students, increased Distinguished Faculty and a general resurgence.[20] This is in accordance with three primary goals articulated in the Graduate Center's strategic plan.[21] The first of these involves enhancing student support. In 2013, 83 dissertation-year fellowships were awarded at a total cost of $1.65 million. The Graduate Center is also developing new programs to advance research prior to the dissertation phase, including archival work. The fiscal stability of the university has enabled the chancellery to increase, on an incremental basis, the value of these fellowships. The packages extended for 2013-14 year increase stipends and reduce teaching requirements. In 2001, the Graduate Center provided 14 million dollars in student support, and, in Fall 2013, 51 million in student support.[21]

On April 23, 2013, the CUNY Board of Trustees announced that President Kelly would serve as interim chancellor for the City University of New York beginning July 1 with the retirement of Chancellor Matthew Goldstein.[22] GC Provost Chase F. Robinson, a historian, was appointed to serve as interim president of the Graduate Center in 2013, and then served as president from July 2014 to December 2018.[23][24]

Joy Connolly became provost in August 2016 and interim president in December 2018.[25] Julia Wrigley was appointed as interim provost in December 2018.[26] In July 2019, James Muyskens became interim president, as Connolly had been appointed president of the American Council of Learned Societies.[27] On March 30, 2020, Robin L. Garrell, Vice Provost for Graduate Education and Dean of Graduate Division at University of California, Los Angeles, was announced as the next president of The Graduate Center. She assumed office on August 1, 2020.[28]

Steve Everett assumed the position of Provost and Senior Vice President in August 2021.

Campus

The CUNY Graduate Center's main campus is located in the B. Altman and Company Building at 34th Street and Fifth Avenue in the Midtown Manhattan neighborhood of New York City. CUNY shares the B. Altman Building with the Oxford University Press.[29] The CUNY Graduate Center has occupied its current location since 2000, before which it was housed in Aeolian Hall on West 42nd Street across from the New York Public Library Main Branch.[30] In 2017, the CUNY Advanced Science Research Center at 85 St. Nicholas Terrace in Manhattan's Harlem neighborhood became part of the CUNY Graduate Center.[31]

Advanced Science Research Center

The Advanced Science Research Center at the Graduate Center (CUNY ASRC) is an interdisciplinary STEM center for research and discovery that leverages expertise across five increasingly interconnected fields: nanoscience, photonics, structural biology, neuroscience, and environmental science. The CUNY ASRC aims to enhance STEM education and promote a collaborative research culture, one where scientists from different fields can work side by side in the center's core facilities, pursuing new research that yields practical benefits for society. It is located in a state-of-the-art, 200,000-square-foot building on the southern edge of City College's campus in Upper Manhattan.[32][33]

The CUNY ASRC, which opened its doors in September 2014 is an outgrowth of CUNY's “Decade of Science” initiative, a 10-year-long, multibillion-dollar commitment to elevating science research and education.[34]

The CUNY ASRC formally joined the CUNY Graduate Center in spring 2017.[31] Today, the CUNY ASRC serves as a hub for CUNY's integrated research network across the five boroughs of New York City. Five years after the center opened, over 200 graduate, undergraduate, and high school students had been mentored by CUNY ASRC scientists.[35][36] In that time, the center also hosted over 400 conferences, seminars, and workshops and awarded over $600,000 in seed grants to CUNY faculty.[35]

Research initiatives

The CUNY ASRC was founded on the principle that the next great scientific advances will result from the interaction of researchers across different disciplines. Thus, the center integrates five diverse research fields to encourage collaboration among established scientists, early-career researchers, and students in areas that shape 21st-century global science.

  • Nanoscience: Exploring on the tiniest scale, using the living world for inspiration to create new materials and devices that advance fields ranging from biomedicine to energy production
  • Photonics: Discovering new ways to control light, heat, radio waves, and sound for future optical computers, ultrasensitive cameras, and cell phone technology
  • Structural biology: Combining physics and chemistry to explore biology at the molecular and cellular levels, with the intention of identifying new ways to treat diseases
  • Neuroscience: Investigating how the brain senses and responds to environmental and social experiences, with a focus on neural networks, metabolic changes, and molecular signals occurring in brain cells, with the goal of developing biosensors and innovative solutions to promote mental health
  • Environmental sciences: Developing high-tech, interdisciplinary solutions to urgent environmental challenges, including air and water issues, climate change, and disease transmission

Each research initiative occupies one floor of the CUNY ASRC building that hosts four faculty laboratories and between two and four core facilities.

Core facilities

The CUNY ASRC houses 15 individual core facilities containing a wide array of cutting-edge equipment.[37] These facilities are open to researchers from CUNY, other academic institutions, nonprofit organizations, and for-profit companies. The CUNY ASRC welcomes researchers from the New York metropolitan area as well as from across the country and globe.

The facilities include:

  • Advanced Laboratory for Chemical and Isotopic Signatures (ALCIS) Facility
  • Biomolecular Nuclear Magnetic Resonance (NMR) Facility
  • Comparative Medicine Unit (CMU)
  • Epigenetics Facilities
  • Imaging Facility
  • Live Imaging & Bioenergetics Facility
  • MALDI Imaging Joint Facility
  • Magnetic Resonance Imaging (MRI) Facility
  • Macromolecular Crystallization Facility
  • Mass Spectrometry Core Facility
  • Nanofabrication Facility
  • Next Generation Environmental Sensor (NGENS) Lab
  • Photonics Core Facility
  • Radio Frequency and mm Wave Facility
  • Surface Science Facility

Education and outreach

The CUNY ASRC promotes science education throughout CUNY, New York City, and well beyond. Students from CUNY's community and senior colleges participate in research opportunities during the academic year and over the summer through programs such as the CUNY Summer Undergraduate Research Program.[38] Likewise, graduate students from master's and doctoral programs at the Graduate Center and from the Grove School of Engineering are integral members of CUNY ASRC research teams.

IlluminationSpace

The CUNY ASRC's IlluminationSpace is an interactive education center that makes science accessible to New Yorkers of all ages and backgrounds. IlluminationSpace has welcomed high school field trips and offered free community hours.[39] Currently, it offers a variety of virtual programs and resources for exploring the science that takes place at the CUNY ASRC.[40]

The CUNY ASRC received a Public Interest Technology University Network 2021 Challenge Grant to establish the IlluminationSpace as a hub for public interest technology, STEM pathways, and science communications and outreach at CUNY.[41] The goal of the funding is to better serve New York City's underrepresented communities by applying a community-informed approach to democratize STEM and sustain impact. It will tap a diverse range of experts and lived experiences to build an ecosystem of engagement and exchange that benefits NYC's BIPOC communities and the CUNY STEM community.

Community Sensor Lab

The CUNY ASRC Community Sensor Lab is a workshop series that teaches high school students and community members how to build low-cost, DIY sensors that can monitor aspects of the environment, from the level of carbon dioxide and pollutants in the air to acidity in the soil and water.[42][43][44][45]

Faculty opportunities

The CUNY ASRC offers a seed grant program to fund collaborative research that supports tenured and tenure-track faculty at CUNY colleges.[46] The program started in 2015 and currently awards six one-year, $20,000 grants annually.

In addition, the center's National Science Foundation CAREER Bootcamp Program,[47] which guides tenure-track faculty through the proposal writing process, have helped CUNY researchers secure substantial NSF CAREER grants.[48]

Grants and research

Between 2014 and 2019, CUNY ASRC researchers secured 126 grants totaling $61 million.[35] Several recent grants have set records for CUNY and the CUNY Graduate Center.[49][50][51] Faculty, postdoctoral fellows, and graduate students at the CUNY ASRC also hold several patents.[52][53][54] Professor Kevin Gardner, director of the CUNY ASRC Structural Biology Initiative, was instrumental in the identification of hypoxia-inducible factor 2-alpha (HIF-2α) as a druggable target and the drug development efforts that led to the FDA-approved first-in-kind kidney cancer drug from Merck, belzutifan.[55]

Center for Advanced Technology – Sensor CAT

The CUNY ASRC is home to one of 15 Centers for Advanced Technology (CATs)[56] designated by Empire State Development NYSTAR. Funded by a nearly $8.8 million grant,[57] the CUNY ASRC Sensor CAT spurs academic-industry partnerships to develop sensor-based technology. Developing biomedical and environmental sensors is a particular focus, as is finding new approaches to sensing through research in photonics, materials, and nanoscience.[57]

Simons Collaboration

Supported by a 2020 grant of up to $16 million from the Simons Foundation, a team of scientists, led by Professor Andrea Alù, director of the CUNY ASRC Photonics Initiative, is studying wave transport in metamaterials.[58] The team's work could lead to greater sensing capabilities for the Internet of Things, improvements in biomedical applications, and extreme control of sound waves for medical imaging and wireless technology.[50]

Department of Defense Vannevar Bush Faculty Fellowships

Professors Rein Ulijn and Andrea Alù, the directors of the CUNY ASRC Nanoscience Initiative and the CUNY ASRC Photonics Initiative, each won a prestigious Vannevar Bush Faculty Fellowship from the U.S. Department of Defense. The fellowship is the agency's most prestigious single-investigator award.[59]

Alù’s $3 million fellowship, awarded in 2019, support his efforts to develop new materials that enable extreme wave manipulation in the context of thermal radiation and heat management.[51] Alù was also named the 2021 Blavatnik National Awards Laureate in Physical Sciences and Engineering.[60]

Ulijn's $3 million fellowship, awarded in 2021, supports his work to understand how complex mixtures of molecules acquire functionality, and to repurpose this understanding to create new nanotechnology that is inspired by living systems.

Mina Rees Library

The Mina Rees Library, named after former president Mina Rees, supports the research, teaching, and learning activities of the CUNY Graduate Center by connecting its community with print materials, electronic resources, research assistance and instruction, and expertise about the complexities of scholarly communication. Situated on three floors of the CUNY Graduate Center, the library is a hub for discovery, delivery, and digitization, as well as a place for solitary study. The library offers many services, including research consultations, a 24/7 online chat service with reference librarians, and workshops and webinars on using research tools.

The library also serves as a gateway to the collections of other CUNY libraries, the New York Public Library (NYPL), and libraries worldwide. It participates in a CUNY-wide book delivery system and offers an interlibrary loan service to bring materials from outside CUNY to Graduate Center scholars. The main branch of NYPL is just a few blocks up Fifth Avenue, and NYPL's Science, Industry and Business Library is just around the corner inside the B. Altman Building. CUNY Graduate Center students and faculty are NYPL's primary academic constituents, with borrowing privileges from NYPL research collections. NYPL's participation in the Manhattan Research Library Initiative (MaRLI) extends borrowing privileges for CUNY Graduate Center students to NYU and Columbia libraries as well.

The Mina Rees Library is a key participant in the CUNY Graduate Center's digital initiatives. It supports the digital scholarship of students and faculty, and promotes the understanding, creation, and use of open access literature.[61] Among its special collections is the Activist Women's Voices collection, an oral history project focused on unheralded New York City community-based women activists.[62][63]

Cultural venues

The CUNY Graduate Center houses three performance spaces and two art galleries.[64] The Harold M. Proshansky Auditorium, named for the institution's second president, is located on the concourse level and contains 389 seats.[65] The Baisley Powell Elebash Recital Hall, located on the first floor, seats 180.[66] The Martin E. Segal Theatre, also located on the first floor, seats 70.[67]

James Gallery

The ground floor of the CUNY Graduate Center houses the Amie and Tony James Gallery, also known as the James Gallery, which is overseen by the Center for the Humanities. The intention of the James Gallery is to bring scholars and artists into dialog with one another, as well as serve as a site for interdisciplinary research.[68] The James Gallery hosts numerous exhibitions annually, and has hosted solo exhibitions by notable American and international artists such as Alison Knowles[69] and Dor Guez.[70]

Courses in the social sciences, humanities, and mathematics, and courses in the sciences requiring no laboratory work convene at the Graduate Center. Due to the consortial nature of doctoral study at the CUNY Graduate Center, courses requiring laboratory work, courses for the clinical doctorates, and courses in business, criminal justice, engineering, and social welfare convene on CUNY college campuses.[citation needed]

Community

The CUNY Graduate Center pioneered the CUNY Academic Commons in 2009 to much praise.[78] The CUNY Academic Commons is an online, academic social network for faculty, staff, and graduate students of the City University of New York (CUNY) system. Designed to foster conversation, collaboration, and connections among the 24 individual colleges that make up the university system, the site, founded in 2009, has quickly grown as a hub for the CUNY community, serving in the process to strengthen a growing group of digital scholars, teachers, and open-source projects at the university. The project has received awards and grants from the Alfred P. Sloan Foundation,[79] the Sloan Consortium[80] and was the winner of the 2013 Digital Humanities Award.[81] It continues to be in the forefront of scholarly social media.

Also affiliated with the institution are four University Center programs: CUNY Baccalaureate for Unique and Interdisciplinary Studies through which undergraduates can earn individualized bachelor's degrees by completing courses at any of the CUNY colleges; the CUNY School of Professional Studies and the associated Joseph S. Murphy Institute for Worker Education and Labor Studies; the CUNY Graduate School of Journalism, which offers a master's degree in journalism; and Macaulay Honors College.[citation needed]

American Social History Project

The American Social History Project/Center for Media and Learning (ASHP/CML) was established in 1981 to create and disseminate materials that help with understanding the diverse cultural and social history of the United States.[94][95] Founded by Stephen Brier and Herbert Gutman, who sought to teach the history of everyday Americans,[96] early projects included the film 1877: The Grand Army of Starvation, about the 1877 railway strike.[97]

ASHP has created curriculum grounded in the work of Howard Zinn, Herbert Gutman, and Stephen Brier which aims to teach social studies at the high school level with the inclusion of diverse viewpoints, including indigenous groups, enslaved Americans, immigrants, and the working class.[98][99] Notable curricula and teaching tools have included Freedom's Unfinished Revolution: An Inquiry into the Civil War and Reconstruction,[100] and Who Built America? .[101][102] Other curriculum, such as Golden Lands, Working Hands, has focused on labor history; these types of ASHP materials emphasize collaborative teaching and learning strategies and have been popular in teaching districts that prioritize union labor.[95]

Digital teaching resources created by ASHP have included the History Matters website; and the online resource Liberté, Égalité, Fraternité: Exploring the French Revolution.[103][102] As teaching tools, these websites place an emphasis on inclusion of primary source material for use in the classroom, alongside teaching strategies for seamless use of these documents in classroom curriculum.[104][105] The online resource, September 11 Digital Archive,[106] has received acclaim for its comprehensive representation of historic perspectives.[107][108] ASHP is also a partner of the Mission US project[109] and co-produced Mission US: Cheyenne Odyssey, an award-winning video game about a Cheyenne tribesman whose way of life is challenged by western expansion.[110]

ASHP was established out of the success of a series of National Endowment for the Humanities summer seminars; seminar topics have included Learning to Look: Teaching Humanitites with Visual Images and New Media,[111] Visual Culture of the American Civil War and its Aftermath, and LGBTQ+ Histories of the United States.[112][113] This focus on professional development opportunities for educators has included other workshops such as the Bridging Historias: Latino/a History and Culture in the Community College Classroom program.[114]

Stone Center on Socio-Economic Inequality

The James M. and Cathleen D. Stone Center on Socio-Economic Inequality was launched on September 1, 2016.[115] The Stone Center expanded and replaced the Luxembourg Income Study (LIS) Center, which opened its doors at the Graduate Center in 2009.[116] It began a post-doctoral program in 2019.[117]

The Stone Center has hosted several scholarly convenings. One year after its launch, it hosted the 2017 Meeting Of The Society For The Study Of Economic Inequality (ECINEQ).[118] In 2021, it convened wealth inequality scholars for the two-day conference, From Understanding Inequality to Reducing Inequality.[119]
