The series consists of public lectures and events in October 2015, including a collaborative digital exhibit entitled Bronx 100, which highlights archival material from the archives at Hostos and BCC documenting CUNY’s impact on higher education in the Bronx. The series is co-sponsored by the Bronx Community College, Hostos Community College, Lehman College and the Bronx Tourism Council.
