The concept and development of the 2011 "Health in America" calendar and Web site have been guided by CUNY Senior Vice Chancellor for University Relations and Secretary of the Board of Trustees Jay Hershenson and LaGuardia Community College President Gail O. Mellow and Interim President Peter Katopes (during President Mellow's current academic leave). Their vision has been realized by Richard K. Lieberman, Director of the LaGuardia and Wagner Archives and Professor of History at LaGuardia Community College, and his colleagues at the Archives - Associate Project Directors Steven A. Levine and Stephen Weinstein, and Assistant Project Director Tara Jean Hickman. The project has received valuable input from some of the finest University scholars, whose participation underscores the integrity of the content. The calendar's one-of-a-kind images, historical documents, and period material were sourced from both the LaGuardia and Wagner Archives and The New York Times photo archives.
For more than 30 years, the LaGuardia and Wagner Archives has produced exemplary calendars and lesson plans on a variety of subjects, including the history of the New York City Council and the origins of public housing. For the past seven of those years, the Archives has produced the CUNY/New York Times in College calendar projects, consisting of printed calendars, Web sites and curricula focused on the following topics: Voting Rights and Citizenship, Women's Leadership, A Nation of Immigrants, City Life, Let Freedom Ring and Investing in Futures: Public Higher Education in America.
The commitment of the calendar's sponsors has been particularly important. CUNY offers special thanks to JPMorgan Chase Chairman and C.E.O. Jamie Dimon, President Kimberly Davis of the JPMorgan Chase Foundation, Senior Vice Presidents Leonard Colica, Michael Nevins and Timothy G. Noble, and Vice President Kim Jasmin. We wish to welcome and thank C.E.O. and President Mark Wagar of Empire BlueCross and BlueShield for his support of the 2011 "Health in America" calendar and Web site. CUNY is also working closely with President George Gresham of 1199 S.E.I.U. United Health Care Workers East.
We are deeply appreciative of our ongoing partnership with our esteemed colleagues at The New York Times in College for making the calendar widely accessible, facilitating the curricular elements, and providing access and publication rights to The New York Times archival photos.With the help of The New York Times in College, on-line at www.nytimes.com/edu, CUNY is collaborating with faculty, administrators and students in states nationwide. In particular, we want to acknowledge and thank these Times colleagues: Felice Nudelman, Executive Director, Education; A. Craig Dunn, Partnership Director, Education; Stephanie Doba, Newspaper in Education Manager; and Diane McNulty, Executive Director, Corporate Communications.
Thanks are also due to New York City Mayor Michael Bloomberg, Council Speaker Christine Quinn and Queens Borough President Helen Marshall. Their historic support and funding of the LaGuardia and Wagner Archives and its calendars and curricula have helped the Archives to preserve history and make it available and accessible to the public.
