CUNY Supporting public interest technologists in earning their associate degree through intentional learning communities: The importance of marketable tech skills, peer support and mentorship in Year 2

CUNY builds on Year 1's creation of a PIT learning community with the launch of a new cohort, further development of peer support networks and college/career pipelines and credentialed training opportunities, and the design of a baccalaureate degree. The second year of support for this project enhanced the development of PIT@CSI. Over the last two years, we have developed academic programming, integrated experiential learning focused on PIT and supported student recruitment infrastructure to assist diverse, low income high school graduates in pursuing Public Interest Technology as a field of study and potential career path. The success of Year 2 has focused on 1.) our first cohort successfully completing all the courses and opportunities in the program and 2.) the start of a second cohort in the program.
