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.

Looking Ahead
On March 27, 2007, nonprofit agencies participating in the DYCD Scholars project assembled at DYCD to discuss their students' progress and to look ahead to recruitment for Fall 2007, when a new class of Scholars will begin coursework in Youth Studies. Several members of the planning team attended, representing DYCD, Lehman College and JFK, Jr. Institute. They are pictured here (from left to right): Yael Bat-Chava, Rhodesia Humphrey-Fletcher, Meryl Jones, Lin Zeng, Ashleigh Thompson, Carrie Shockley and Denice Williams.
