Belle Zeller Scholarship Trust Fund
Please share this scholarship opportunity with the students in your program. The applicati n can be found here: http //www.citytech.cuny.edu/BZmaterials/forms/doctorial.pdf
The Professional Staff Congress/CUNY, the instructional staff union of the City University of New York, established the Belle Zeller Scholarship Trust Fund in 1979. The Belle Zeller Fund offers scholarships to undergraduate students at CUNY as well as to a student in the CUNY Law School and a student in the CUNY doctoral programs. The scholarships honor the founding president of the PSC, Belle Zeller, Professor Emeritus of Political Science at Brooklyn, where she taught for over 40 years. Professor Zeller had an outstanding sense of social commitment, notable leadership talents, and a record of scholarship that earned her a national reputation in her field. She died in 1998.
Recipients should exemplify the social commitment, leadership and scholarship that marked the career of Belle Zeller. In 2000, the Trustees of the Fund named the scholarship offered to a student in the doctoral programs The Irwin H. Polishook Scholarship to express our admiration for Professor Polishook’s contributions to unionism in higher education. He was an associate of Belle Zeller, succeeded her as President of the PSC, and served in that position for 24 years, retiring in 2000. Professor Polishook also held important positions in the state and national affiliates of the PSC, and he wrote extensively on higher education issues. We are pleased to be able to acknowledge his many accomplishments through this scholarship. The Fund is currently an independent, non-profit organization.

Career Night: Teaching in Blended Learning Environments
Dear Graduate Center Community:
Blended learning has become a critical part of teaching and learning in most American colleges and universities. Increasingly it is becoming the modality of choice in mainstream higher education. If you would like to learn more about blended learning, on Thursday, February 11, from 4:30 pm to 6:30 pm, the PhD Program in Urban Education as part of its Career Night Series, will host a two-hour program discussing the design and development of blending learning courses at the postsecondary level. Anthony Picciano (Executive Officer, Urban Education) and Luke Waltzer (Director, Teaching and Learning Center; Instructor, Interactive Technology and Pedagogy Certificate Program) will lead the discussion. The underlying theme for the evening will be that sound pedagogical practice drives the technological application of blended learning techniques. Audience interaction will be encouraged throughout the discussion.
All faculty and students at the Graduate Center are welcome. However, we ask that you RSVP to Christine Saieh at [email protected] so that refreshments could be ordered.
We look forward to seeing you on February 11, room 4202, at 4:30 pm.

Invited to attend and participate in the sessions will be leaders of front-line communities struggling with environmental injustices, environmentalists, urban planners, design professionals, community activists, as well as national and international environmental organizations, and governmental representatives.
This session will focus on the outcomes of the Paris talks. What was achieved and what was not achieved? What will the implications be for cities and regions? In particular, what do the agreements mean for communities that are comprised of low-income people, as well as emerging economies and nations struggling to overcome colonialism?
Included will be a discussion of the role that emerging and new professionals could and should play and the importance of equitable and inclusive responses to climate change.
