Cristina Migliaccio Ph.D.

My colleague Donna Hill and I wrote a 3-course Digital Storytelling curriculum with the CUNY Andrew W. Mellon Foundation Black, Race, and Ethnic Studies Initiative Grant Funding we received toward designing curriculum for a BRES Ph.D. program at the CUNY Graduate Center. 
 
My independent course proposal Writing for New Media was approved by the CUNY University Curriculum Committee in Fall 2023 and will run for the first time at MEC in Fall 2024.
 
Professional Writing Committee, Medgar Evers College. Fall 2018-Present.

In this role, I draw on my experience designing and teaching business and professional writing curricula to help the English Department develop Professional Writing courses.

For example, since Fall 2024 my colleagues and I have been revising the Professional Writing Concentration courses in the English Department to reflect more current theory and practices.  

In 2019, my colleague Professor Donna Hill and I wrote a grant proposal for a Professional and Public Writing Degree at MEC. 

I also work with colleagues to organize events such as our Fall 2019 "Creating a Digital Footprint for the Job Market," and Spring 2024 "Writing For Fun And Profit" which help students prepare for the 21st-century workplace.
 
Professional Business Writing Course Pilot, Hofstra University. Spring 2017.
 
I worked with two colleagues in the Writing Studies and Rhetoric Department to design and implement a Zarb School of Business writing-intensive degree requirement, Professional Business Writing. Hofstra offers a Professional Writing Studies Minor, and this course can also be taken as an elective toward that end.
 
In this role, my colleagues and I determined texts for the course. We also designed common assignments ranging from business proposals, formal reports, visual presentations, internal and web articles, press releases, and more.
 
I shaped the curriculum of WSC 130 into an internal service-learning course through three sections I taught in Spring of 2018.
