Says host Alaina Claire Feldman, gallery director and curator, “We can really think of the College’s art collection as OER—Open Education Resource.” Watch now <https://pmail.baruch.cuny.edu/PoliteMail/default.aspx?page=BpztwbwOGUGh_qsXfGeLjw&ref_id=-j7dJs-600S-hS9sogU1xg> .

Stay Connected The energy was electric at last week’s official dedication for Clivner=Field Plaza on East 25th Street between Lexington and Third avenues. The College’s first major in-person event in this new era was a wonderful way for our community to come together and—as President S. David Wu said in his remarks—celebrate the audacity of Baruch. This occasion resonated with our followers across social media, particularly on Instagram, where the official ribbon-cutting post received more than 675 likes. We look forward to seeing how this transformative space adds to the vibrancy of NYC and urban life.
