Cultural and Archival Resources.
Innovative ways the English department is utilizing
cultural resources on campus.
Innovative ways the holocaust center is being infused
with other departments.
How is the information of utilizing the cultural resources(QPAC, QCC Art Gallery and the Kupferberg Holocaust

Rosemary discussed that Susan Madera and Zivah Perel discussed with Dr. Gillespie, chair of English department re: incorporating cultural resources into EN 101 and EN 102. This strategy allowed exposure to all students since this is a prerequisite to all majors. Discussion ensued with Julia Carroll re: is it formally placed within the English dept.’s curriculum.

Sociology dept is studying the topic surrounding the publication, Goose Stepping in Long Island. The business department looking at trade activities surrounding the holocaust periods and a reflection on business ethics. Dr. Flug also discusses locating art painted by a holocaust survivor that couldn’t express self succinctly with verbal communication. He depicts each art painting with a story behind each painting.

formally infused in the syllabus.

to:
the same concepts with current hate crimes in the media
and the community support of the city council and
society
the increased interest of the students interviewing to be

Rosemary Zin’s objective is to have a representative or
spokesperson from several departments or from several
departments from the Freshman Academy to actively
represent the cultural and archival resources on campus.
The role of the spokesperson would be to significantly
