Office of Academic Affairs - Hostos Community College

Hostos Authors (2006)

Anthologies, books, book reviews, journal articles, scholarly magazine articles, and online journal articles are some of the medium used by faculty to share scholarly achievements with our academic colleagues and friends around the nation and the world. Since we as faculty keep our schedules very busy with teaching, service, and the pursuit of scholarship, it becomes important for us to sit back and share our accomplishments with one another during a festive occasion on campus. This small publication reflects only a portion of what we do as faculty members. It is with great pleasure that I offer, Recognizing Faculty’s Research and Scholarship, and the OAA Open House, Honoring Faculty Scholarship as an opportunity to be honored by the Hostos community of scholars. I look forward to sharing more achievements with you in the future, and I wish you the best in 2007.
