Can you tell us a little bit about yourself? How did you come to be at the Gosin Center?
Hi, all! I鈥檓 Sophie Serage, the program coordinator for the Gosin Center. I have a roommate who is a 91视频 student, and we were on the job boards looking for a work-study for them. However, this job was open and piqued my interest, especially with my background in community partnerships at University of Massachusetts in Boston. And the rest is history.
Tell us more about the Barry M. and Jackie Gosin Center for Equity and Inclusion. What programs do you have going on right now?
The Gosin Center has just instituted its inaugural Network Scholarship. It鈥檚 a cohort of Pleasantville sophomores with a passion for business and entrepreneurship; for the next year, they will go through a series of events and programs designed to foster their go-getter spirit and prepare them in their careers post-graduation.
What are you most looking forward to in the Fall 2024 semester?
Other than sweater weather and soup season, I would have to say Nikole Hannah-Jones is coming to 91视频 to speak on November 12. We had a great start to our Fireside Chat Series in the spring, and I think this will be a great addition to that collection. We will be having student moderators, and an audience Q+A. Nikole Hannah-Jones is a Pulitzer-Prize winning writer, known for her coverage of civil rights in America. It should be an evening of lively conversation, and it is our hope that everyone walks away enlightened and nourished.
How can students, staff, and faculty get involved?
Attend our events! RSVP Nikole Hannah-Jones' fireside chat later in November and be on the lookout for more to come in the spring. In the meantime, the Gosin Center is located on the 9th floor of 41 Park Row on the NYC Campus, and it is open to all!
