Marcelo Viana Neto, Hostos Community College: In Marcelo Viana Neto, Hostos Community College: In one of the assignments in my Introduction to Games course at Hostos Community College, I ask students to design a game as a gift to someone they know. About a year ago, mired in pandemic gloom, one student designed a game as a birthday gift to his mom. He told me he had a difficult time expressing his feelings openly and wanted to try to do it with a game instead. He wanted his game to be about the time his mother went to see one of his baseball games on her birthday. He wanted to hit a home run for her, but as hard as he tried, he couldn’t. He went hitless that day. In the game he created, the player controlled a pixelated character representing him as a baseball player whose only available action was to run around an abstracted baseball diamond. As he ran the base paths, he talked to himself, the inner dialog filled with doubts about their ability to reach home base. As they reached each base, the player found pieces of a longer message to his mom, a birthday card. As the player reaches home base and scores the winning run, the game concludes with “happy birthday, mom” and a stylized fireworks display. A home run. In a Post-Mortem paper, the student said he was happy to finally express his feelings and wanted to keep making games like this. “I have a lot more to say,” he wrote. #TeachersOfCUNY
Willie Mack, Baruch I am an adjunct lecturer at B Willie Mack, Baruch I am an adjunct lecturer at Baruch College, and I teach U.S. history. What inspires me to teach at CUNY is its long history of serving the people of New York City and the impact that CUNY has had on New York and the people of New York. To me, CUNY is as much, if not more so, a part of New York City as any famous landmark or institution. Although I never attended CUNY as a student, growing up in New York City and hearing about the former students who had graduated from CUNY and went on to have impactful careers in politics, law, or any field, gave me a sense of pride. I’ve always believed that CUNY is a school that serves the public of New York while providing a valuable education. CUNY’s student body also reflects the diversity of New York City. The class I teach is made up of students from all different backgrounds. I have students who are immigrants who just moved to the United States. Students who are single parents juggling a job, school, and being a parent, and kids who are still living at home. They come from across the city, from the Bronx to Staten Island. CUNY is a true mosaic of the diversity that is New York City. I was at lunch one day after teaching, and I overheard this older man telling the waitress about his life growing up in New York. He mentioned that he went to Baruch, and he had so much pride in that. He studied business and after he graduated, he was able to start his own small clothing business in the city. He said that if it wasn’t for the affordability of CUNY, he never would have been able to attend college. To me, that is what gives me the most pride in having the opportunity to teach in the CUNY system; I can make an impact on the future of New York and in the lives of New Yorkers. #teachersofcuny
