At Hunter College, so many faculty, staff, and students are stepping outside the traditional classroom by using New York City and the world itself as an extension of campus – transforming museums, neighborhoods, cultural institutions, and civic spaces into immersive learning environments. These experiences are deepened through collaborative dialogue with peers, faculty, and community partners – encouraging students to question, reflect, and gain new perspectives. Join us to learn about ways students are connecting theory to practice by engaging in place based and experiential learning activities across the college!
