Spring 2025: 400-Level Courses!

For those of you eligible to register for CM 490 and CM 499 (the capstone) this coming semester, please see below for some information about your options and feel free to reach out to me or Rokshana with questions.

CM 490: Special Topics

For CM 490, you have the choice between two topics—Introduction to Podcasting, and Introduction to Journalism (aka “Journalism for Non-Journalists”). Both will provide you with strong knowledge of each field, and equip you with durable skills that are transferable across a range of professional contexts.

CM 499: Capstone

For CM 499, you can choose between Capstone to Career—a workshop class that allows you to produce a polished piece of work for your academic, creative, or professional portfolio—and Engagement Marketing, a more independently structured class focused on marketing.

The Kiosk Information Session – Oct 8th

CUNY SPS’ student-run newspaper, The Kiosk, will be hosting an information session for students interested in writing for the site on Tuesday, October 8th, at 6:00pm via Zoom.

Please register for the information session here.

The meeting is open to everyone—students can join to learn more about The Kiosk’s past coverage and what we’re looking for in terms of pitching story ideas. The info session will cover our article preferences, submission guidelines, the publishing process, and address any questions students may have. See the attached flyer for more details!

CM Students “Writing Together”

On October 1st, Communication and Media hosted its first virtual co-working session on Zoom, the first of a bi-weekly series during the fall semester. These “Writing Together” sessions are meant to build community and provide gentle structures of accountability for CM students — and faculty! — who want a set time to make progress on a project or class assignment. We hope more students will join us for future sessions!
