This Commons sight responds to a frustration (mine) and an opportunity (proposed by a colleague):

I write a short piece nearly every week for Hostos Community College’s El Semanario, a comprehensive newsletter established by President Cocco De Fillipis to serve as a weekly document of the college’s actions and events. These pieces return to familiar themes and introduce new ones. Compiling them in one spot is an invitation to review what have been IE priorities at Hostos over the past years.

Less self-servingly, a colleague recently asked me where he could find these posts without having to search through back issues of El Semanario – and because there was no other way, he suggested a blog. The content, even when it is a few years old, can be helpful reference for grants, reports and research at Hostos and beyond. While tech-hesitant and prone to procrastination, this was the push I needed.
