    THE CITY COLLEGE OF NEW YORK VIRTUAL SALUTE TO GRADUATES JUNE 30, 2020 THE CITY UNIVERSITY OF NEW YORK VIRTUAL SALUTE 2020 | 1 PRESIDENT’S MESSAGE Dear CCNY Graduates of the Class of 2020, There are moments in our history that impress an indelible mark upon us, when we are called to do extraordinary things under the press of an indescribable moment. Anyone graduating in the midst of the COVID19 pandemic will be marked by this extraordinary moment. But even among that national class graduating in 2020, you are different. At a time when the inequitable imprint of this scourge underscores the other inequities in our society, the City College—and those who work study and graduate from it—stand apart. You graduate from an institution established to redress inequality, an institution that each generation has the responsibility of scanning the social and Vince Boudreau political landscape, and setting its sights on rectifying that which sits most uneasily in President the light of that responsibility. It has been over fifty years since we have faced the kinds of challenges we face today to our democracy, to the fabric of our society, and to the health and security of our people. As an institution, we were made for this moment. As graduates of CCNY, you now shoulder the responsibility of giving voice to your vision of that just society, a vision we have worked to develop and instill in you all the days of your work with us. You have struggled, sometimes mightily and against long odds, to reach this day, and we beam with pride at your accomplishment.

STRING THEORY AND OUR RELATIONSHIP WITH NATURE: THE CONVERGENCE OF SCIENCE, CURRICULUM THEORY, AND THE ENVIRONMENT by VIRGINIA THERESE BENNETT (Under the Direction of John A. Weaver) ABSTRACT Curriculum Theory affords us the opportunity to examine education from a multitude of directions. This work takes advantage of that opportunity to explore the relationships between science, nature, and curriculum using string theory and our ideas about the environment as a backdrop. Both the energy and multiple possibilities created by strings and the rich history leading up to the theory help to illustrate the many opportunities we have to advance discussions in alternative ways of looking at science. By considering the multiple dimensions inherent in string theory as multiple pathways and interweaving metaphors from Deleuze and Guattari, Michel Serres, and Donna Haraway, our approach to environmental issues and environmental education allow us to include alternative ways of looking at the world.

    Sep09 1-10-P 9/5/09 5:35 AM Page 1 F ASHION LIFESTYLE ART ENTERTAINMENT SEPTEMBER 2009 FREE James Kyson Lee Has Powers! Italy Comes to Houston Big Travel in Micronesia Harry Shum Jr Gets Gleeful yellowmags.com Sep09 1-10-P 9/5/09 5:35 AM Page 2 FROM THE EDITOR IN CHIEF How would you like to travel to Italy without having to go through security, dealing with delays and the countless other inconveniences of international travel? Well, we can suggest the next best thing. Houstonians will be able to participate in their very first Italian Style Expo. Considered to be America’s largest “Made in Italy” exposition, the best of Italian food, wine, tourism, design, fashion and entertainment will be showcased. A dizzying array of activities and areas of interest will be available, promising something for everyone (including the kids). Fortunately, it is a three day event to ensure that you have the opportunity to see everything! Thank goodness that Tina Turner sang We Don’t Need Another Hero and not We Don’t Need Another Superhero. It seems that during the course of the last few years, superheroes have dominated Hollywood blockbusters. And, on the small screen, Heroes on NBC is a feast for the insatiable appetite of lovers of the superhero genre. On September 21st, the series will launch into its fourth season and fans cannot wait. James Kyson Lee plays Ando on the series, and has only recently received his powers. He shares his insights about the entertainment business, his movie, White on Rice, that will be released this month, and what he considers to be the ideal woman.
