Location: City Tech Library (library building, 4th floor) Multimedia Projection Room

RSVP here: https://cityte.ch/wikioncampus
Join us for refreshments, discussion, and a short presentation on what the role of Wikipedia and other Wikiprojects can look like at City Tech. Jen Hoyer, Technical Services and Electronic Resources Librarian, will share an overview of upcoming wiki-related events planned at City Tech Library over the 2025-26 academic year, including a Wikicurious event for beginners in November 2025 focused on learning about Wikidata and contributing to the NYC400 editing campaign.
Attendees will be welcome to share their own experiences and questions about Wikipedia in the classroom, and there will also be a brief introduction to resources available through WikiEdu. We’ll also be joined by Richard Knipel, CUNY’s Wikimedian in Residence, for a quick look at how Wikipedia has been used on other CUNY campuses to create and share knowledge.
Questions? Get in touch!
