Institute Hosts Youth Studies Colloquium
On May 7, 2009 CUNY's Office of the University Dean for Health and Human Services partnered with DYCD to host CUNY faculty, city partners and youth-serving agencies at Baruch College for a Youth Studies Colloquium. The program included John Mogulescu, Senior University Dean for Academic Affairs and Dean of the School of Professional Studies, DYCD Commissioner Jeanne Mullgrav, and panels on undergraduate and graduate coursework in Youth Studies. Dr. Sarah Chinn gave the keynote address on the topic of her new book, Inventing Modern Adolescence. The Colloquium is part of a CUNY-wide Youth Studies Consortium designed to develop counseling, outreach efforts and new courses, certificates and degrees in Youth Studies across the colleges. Gina Limbal, pictured here with Ashleigh Thompson and Lehman adjunct professor Alison Link, speaks about her experience as a Youth Studies major in the Adult Degree Program.

Youth Studies Consortium launched at CUNY
In March 2008, CUNY launched a Youth Studies Consortium in collaboration with the Wallace Foundation and NYC's Department of Youth and Community Development (DYCD). This partnership creates a university-wide initiative to support the development of new courses/certificates/degree programs, web resources, counseling services for students, and faculty research opportunities in this emerging multidisciplinary field.
