Welcome to the CUNY Humanities Alliance, a project at the CUNY Graduate Center (GC) funded by the Andrew W. Mellon Foundation that connects doctoral students to humanities teaching and learning experiences at CUNY’s community colleges. The Humanities Alliance, launched in 2016 as a partnership with LaGuardia Community College, is now in its second phase, connecting the GC to Hostos Community College, Borough of Manhattan Community College, and Guttman Community College, while continuing the partnership with LaGuardia.
