Touchstone - Spring 2014

Volume 7.1

PREFACE

Carmen Caballes-Vega, Ph.D. Provost and Vice President for Academic Affairs Our faculty share their work in this volume in a variety of ways: from the legacy of Hostos to the legacy of Magda Vasillov; from archives to online learning; from iPads to the 3-D Brain; from Birds, Bees, and Frogs to Blackboard; from the Intermittent Search for Words to ESL; from Algebra to the Urban Food Desert; from Assessment to Quantitative Reasoning; and from Bronx Latin co Mussolini's Use of Rhetoric. There is a rich diversity in the topics and threads running through this special volume and how they exemplify teaching and learning at Hostos. Our deepest gratitude to Professors Carl James Grindley and Kim Sanabria and the editorial team for their time and devotion to this volume.
