The subjects of the exhibit include the native people, a group of utopians from New York City (members of the Western Farm and Village Association), various European settlers, and, within the past three decades, the newcomers from Bosnia, Cambodia, Mexico, Vietnam, Russia and Somalia. Exhibit arranged by City Tech English Professor Mary Nilles with historian Jean Ensch of Strassen, Luxembourg. Dr. Nilles has arranged this display through support from and collaboration with several funding sources and many individuals. Elementary and high school-level students and instructors, as well as university students and professors in Minnesota, Luxembourg, Ohio, Wisconsin, Luxembourg, and New York City (including students in her English classes at City Tech) have been partners in this research initiative for several years. A series of posters to advertise this exhibition have been created this semester by Emmanuel Duarte, a student in a Design class taught by Professor Anthony Accardo.

New Email System for Students
From CIS
The College has now migrated to a new Student Email system: Microsoft Windows Live. The old student email system will be brought completely off line January 27th. The new Live account is to be the official means of electronic communication with all students. Blackboard, SIMS and other centralized systems will utilize the new email addresses.
Students must activate their new account before use. Information on how to do this has been disseminated and continues to be disseminated to students through our Student Computing Helpdesk. In general, a student’s new email address will be their firstname.lastname@mail.citytech.cuny.edu. However, students can obtain their actual email address by going to the following link: http://mail.citytech.cuny.edu/

Hospitality Menu Exhibit
From Professor Amit Mehrotra of Hospitality Menu Exhibit:
“The menus from the Menu Planning and Design course are now on display in the front showcase of Ursula C. Schwerin Library. The seven week course brought together students from hospitality and graphic arts to collaborate on the concept, design and development of “customer ready” menus. All of you are encouraged to view it anytime between now and first week of February and provide valuable feedback for enhanced instruction and execution for future sections.
Last spring we also created digital copies for each of the menu with the ultimate aim of keeping a repository for future instructional and academic purposes. A big thanks to John Akana for helping out with the planning and setup for this display.”
