The Columbia Core at Hostos is a professional development initiative in the English Department, and is sponsored by the Apgar Foundation. Directors Dr. Gregory Marks and Dr. Andrea Fabrizio have collaborated with Director of the Core Curriculum at Columbia University, Dr. Roosevelt Montas, to implement a three-year project designed to draw on the strengths of Columbia University’s Core Curriculum to revise the curriculum of ENG 110 and ENG 111 at Hostos. For those faculty teaching these curricula, and for others interested in the initiative, its unique website is here.
