This volume captures the spirit of collaboration and innovation
that its authors bring into the classroom, as well as to
groundbreaking undergraduate programs and initiatives. Coming from
diverse points of view and twenty different disciplines, the
contributors illuminate the often perplexing debates about what
matters most in higher education today. Each chapter tells a unique
story about creating vital pedagogical arenas that have the
potential to transform teaching and learning for both faculty and
students. These exploratory spaces include courses under
construction, cross-college and interdisciplinary collaborations,
general education reform initiatives, and fresh perspectives on
student support services, faculty development, freshman learning
communities, writing across the curriculum, on-line degree
initiatives, and teaching and learning centers. All these spaces
lend shape to an over-arching, system-wide project bringing
together the often disconnected silos of undergraduate education at
The City University of New York (CUNY), America's largest urban
public university system. Since 2003, the University's Office of
Undergraduate Education has sponsored coordinated efforts to study
and improve teaching and learning for the system's 260,000
undergraduates enrolled at 18 distinct colleges. The contributors
to this volume present a broad spectrum of administrative and
faculty perspectives that have informed the process of transforming
the undergraduate experience. Combined, the voices in these
chapters create a much-needed exploratory space for the interplay
of ideas about how teaching and learning need to matter in evolving
notions of higher education in the twenty-first century. In
addition, the text has wider social relevance as an in-depth
exploration of change and reform in a large public institution.
