The Thriving in Academia (Spring 2022) lecture series, continues the support of junior faculty members, as they navigate the roadmap of academe at QCC through targeted lectures and mini workshops. The conversations in the series will center the voices of experts in their fields, who are BIPOC (Black, Indigenous, and People of Color). The lectures will focus on academic, personal, and professional goals and will provide tools and advice focusing on the unique experiences of faculty of color, as they progress toward tenure and promotion. Just as in Fall 2021 and Spring 2021, the series will feature two speakers for Spring 2022.
The goal of the series is to focus on the retention, recruitment, and satisfaction of underrepresented members of our community by presenting opportunities for growth, support, and mentoring.
Thriving in Academia is sponsored by the Office of Academic Affairs

She began her tenure at Hostos as an Assistant Professor for Early Childhood Education in 2004 and soon after served as Coordinator, Chairperson, Associate Dean for Academic Affairs, and Interim Provost. Prior to Hostos, Dr. Mangino taught in both an early childhood center, as an elementary school teacher, and later on as an adjunct professor at St. John's University.

Dr. Mangino began her education earning an Associate's degree from Nassau Community College, a Bachelor's and Master's degree in education from Hofstra University and a doctoral degree in Instructional Leadership from St. John's University. Like many community college students, Dr. Mangino was the first in her family to attend college.

National Center for Faculty Development & Diversity (NCFDD)
The Office of Academic Affairs is proud to announce our membership in the National Center for Faculty Diversity and Development (NCFDD). This membership is made possible by a CUNY OAA mini-grant and with support of our president, Dr. Christine Mangino, who matched the funds. We especially hope that this membership will be of additional support to mid-career faculty seeking promotion.
Queensborough is the first community college to become a member of NCFDD.
