The month of October has been designated Italian American Heritage month. Although overlapping with another group, Hispanic Heritage month, this date was chosen in 1989 by presidential decree to overlap with Columbus Day on October 11th.   For many, it is a time to reflect on Italian Americans' many contributions and to enrich their understanding through lectures, readings and events.  It is also a time to explore through publications and media outlets the changes and new attitudes felt in the field of this group as they touch on its history, sociology, art, culture and literature. 

This edition of QC Research Highlights features some of the important, fascinating research done by graduate students at Queens College. Academic Works, CUNY’s institutional repository, has a small collection of master’s theses and student capstones completed at Queens College.   This collection is still growing! See below if you’d like to participate. 

The QC Library currently has trials to the following resources:  Drama Online Oberon Collection, Human Kinetics Library, and Theatre Performance and Design Collection.
