New York City Civic Engagement Program at Barnard College

Here is a to some of the teddy bears we made with Cubs for Coping during MLK Legacy week!

Have you ever considered leading a tour on campus? Now is your chance! Alianza, the pan-Latino affinity group on campus, has created the wonderful program Bridge2Brilliance. B2B brings together students from all schools, majors, and class years - especially those identifying as students of color, first-gen students and/or low income students - and encourages them to lead local school kids around campus so that they too can imagine their potential as Barnard College and Columbia University students.

Applying to summer internships? Looking for post-grad work? Let's talk rec letters!

Join us for lunch and a quick rundown of everything you need to know, including: when to ask for recommendations, who you should ask, how to manage the process, and strategies to wind up with the best possible recommendation letters.

RSVP today!: bit.ly/recletterworkshop

Ishrat is a sophomore majoring in Political Economics with a concentration in sociocultural Anthropology. She hails from Boston, MA and loves exploring NYC's halal carts and coffee shops in her free time. She joined NYCCEP primarily because NYCCEP Fellows challenge broader societal notions of what is commonly accepted through activism, using their advocacy and political engagement to question and challenge the fundamental pillars of society, forcing themselves and the members of their community to venture beyond their comfort zones to effectively establish and bring modes of social change.
