Historically, the CD program has organized
activities and events to help students be more successful and to
provide an orientation to new and existing programs. The following
is a partial listing of some of our specialized events and/or
programs:
CD Convocation
The CD convocation is an annual program organized every fall semester
for new and continuing students. All CD students must attend the
convocation arranged during club hours (Wednesday, between 2-4:00
PM) in the theatre. The program is intended to be inspirational.
Special guest speakers are invited for a program that includes
student/artistic performances (dance, song, instrumentals, poetry),
and academic
recognition. Note: If you have a discovered or undiscovered talent,
and would like to be considered for a performance on a professional
stage contact Mr. Solomon or Mr. Hill in the CD office.
Personal Enrichment Program (PEP)
PEP is a series of specialized workshops designed to help students
on academic probation and special probation. Every semester students
in these classifications and students at risk are invited to attend
the carefully designed workshops that provide the tools to help
increase their overall academic performance. All CD students on
academic probation or special probation are required to attend the
PEP series.
College Student Inventory (CSI)
Students in College Discovery are eligible to take the College
Student Inventory (CSI). This is a personality inventory that designed
to help students identify cognitive and affective indicators. CSI
can be helpful in linking students with support services in the
area of careers, academic skill building, student activities and
personal counseling. Counselors and advisors can use the results
that identify some of the students’ strengths and needs as
a foundation for building relationships. This inventory is available
to CD students free!
Transfer Opportunities
As
students begin to get closer to completing their associate degree
they are strongly encouraged to think about transfer to programs
in senior colleges that offer baccalaureate programs. CD plans workshops
and informational sessions to help students get information about
particular colleges and available opportunities. CD Students who
graduate BMCC and wish to transfer to other CUNY colleges are automatically
eligible for the SEEK program. Students who apply for private colleges
or those within the SUNY system are eligible for EOP or HEOP. Be
on the alert for flyers or mailings with specific dates for available
transfer opportunities.
CD Graduation & Awards Program
 The CD program takes special pride in considering itself a family.
Each year we plan a special evening dinner program where we recognize
the outstanding achievements of our students. Students who are graduating,
and those who have met certain criteria are presented special acknowledgements.
Family and friends of our students are especially welcome during
this event to help celebrate such their accomplishments.
Immersion
All entering CD students are eligible to participate in the summer
immersion program to complete basic skills content areas in ENG,
RDG, and MAT. The program is held for 6 weeks beginning late June
and ending early August. Additionally, a short 3-week immersion
program is held during January. Students who are eligible to participate
in these programs will receive a letter with specific details on
orientation and registration.
Latino Male & Female Initiative
(LMFI)
The LMFI targets the Latino students in the CD program for specialized
forums and discussions that center around issues that are culturally
based. An attempt is made each semester to organize events like:
Meet Your Latino Faculty, Law Day, Latinos & Education, and
others.
