When Jason Samuels, an Assistant Professor in BMCC’s Mathematics department, heard about the STaR Fellowship from a colleague last year, he decided to apply—and he’s so glad he did.
Born in Toledo, Spain, BMCC’s Modern Languages Professor Hilario Barrero moved to New York City in 1978, and “the first thing I did,” he says, “was go to Barnes & Noble and open an anthology of American poets.”
As recently as the run-up to the South Carolina primary, former Massachusetts Governor Mitt Romney expressed regret that he’d gone negative against his Republican rivals during the campaign.
Designed by the prestigious architectural firm of Pei Cobb Freed & Partners, BMCC’s new Fiterman Hall showcases scenic river views and soaring glass atriums. Students will meet in sunny lounges, enjoy a stylish café and browse a world-class fine arts gallery. They’ll advance their learning in 100 spacious “Smart” classrooms and computer labs equipped for multiple technologies, and featuring environmental benefits such as sensor-controlled thermostats.
What do Dr. Antonio Pérez and actor Alec Baldwin have in common? Both have graced 30 Rockefeller Plaza with their presence.
And while Pérez, the President of BMCC, doesn’t star in a hit TV sitcom like Baldwin, he recently shined in his own way.
David Steingard was just 16 when he enrolled at BMCC, and had grown up in the neighborhood.
“I played stick ball on these streets when I was a kid,” he says. “The park in front of the college used to be a sand pit, and there were sculptures there, including a big red fire engine we used to climb on.”
BMCC’s proud slogan is “Start Here, Go Anywhere.”Most students ‘start’ locally, meaning they’re native New Yorkers.
However, some students ‘start’ elsewhere and were born, raised, and educated in another country.
When Euri Parios enrolled in BMCC as a Human Services major, she was told that she would be required to take Math 051—Elementary Algebra. She balked at the idea. According to Parios, “Algebra didn’t seem relevant to my life or my career plans.” She adds, “I was sure I’d never have any use for it.”
Last summer, as members of BMCC’s Finance and Economics Club prepared to compete in the 2011 College Fed Challenge, their advisor, Yanni Tournas, urged them to keep a balanced perspective. “The goal,” he said, “isn’t to win but to learn.”
Lecturer Aimee Record teaches Women in Literature, a course that goes beyond—way beyond—just reading and discussing classic stories.
What makes Record’s course different is that she puts traditional literary texts in the context of contemporary culture and students’ lives.
