Discoveries is a program hosted by Commuter Student Services that creates opportunities for commuter students to connect with faculty. Discoveries is where you can find valuable learning experiences outside of the traditonal classroom setting.
Discoveries offers multiple ways to conncect with professors. Faculty host Discoveries city excursions related to their fields of study to share their knowledge with students. You can tour Lower Manhattan with a professor of urban history or tour a New York City museum with a professor of art history. You can also attend Discovieries lunches. Each month a different professor will share their experience and expertise over a free lunch at a local restaurant.
