What You're Doing, Where We're Going
The Biological Sciences Department has created an excellent site on the OpenLab, which is full of resources, news, and helpful information. It’s well-structured so that everything is easy to find, both on the home page, and in the top menu. They also have a helpful feed of upcoming departmental events and deadlines in the sidebar. Take a look!
We’re excited to see both Bridges to the Baccalaureate, and the program it’s part of, Strengthening Research Interactions through Digital Expressions (STRIDE), on the OpenLab! STRIDE provides a digital space for student and faculty research resources, and the Bridges to the Baccalaureate Program provides academic support and research mentoring to associates degree students in Biology, Chemistry, or Psychology, who will transfer to Brooklyn College to finish their degrees. Their well-designed site includes plenty of information on the program, and visitors can download the Bridges brochure and application forms. Students who are interested in applying should do so by their February 28 deadline!
The Buzz is the blog for our excellent group of student bloggers, who are writing on a wide variety of topics, from fashion to food, and more. This semester the group also includes a few photobloggers who will be posting and writing about their photographs. There are already three new posts this week, as well as an active comments section. Check it out, and leave a comment!
We’re happy to see more and more college committees on the OpenLab, including the Interdisciplinary Committee! They have a great site, which is well organized and informative, making it easy to find anything visitors want to know about what the committee does, joining the committee, or submitting an application to designate a course as interdisciplinary. We also love their eye-catching header and logo!
This club, for students interested in the new Biomedical Informatics major at City Tech, has a great site featuring lots of information on club and other local activities and events. It also includes resources on jobs, internships, and the field of Biomedical Informatics in general. We’re happy to see them on the OpenLab!
The OpenLab is an open-source, digital platform designed to support teaching and learning at City Tech (New York City College of Technology), and to promote student and faculty engagement in the intellectual and social life of the college community.
