Join us for a powerful screening of\u00a0The Five Demands<\/i>, a documentary capturing the historic 1969 student takeover of City College of New York. Often overlooked, this was defining moment not just in student activism, but in the reshaping of institutional culture at CUNY and the nation. Led by SEEK students who refused to be invisible, the takeover forced CUNY to confront the deep cultural assumptions about who belonged in higher education, whose knowledge mattered, and whose voices deserved to be heard.<\/span><\/span><\/p>\n The Five Demands didn’t just open admissions. It demanded that the institution itself change its culture, its values, and its identity. Because of SEEK students, CUNY was compelled to reimagine what a truly inclusive academic culture could look like. Come witness this extraordinary chapter in history, reflect on the cultural transformation SEEK ignited, and join a post-screening conversation about what institutional culture means for students today.

It lives in how we define merit, whose labor we decide to count and recognize, who receives the sponsorship that turns potential into opportunity, and who is handed the work of making institutions feel legitimate; without ever being invited to shape them. What if the very people doing the most essential, life-changing work in our communities are also the ones most likely to be overlooked, overloaded, and invisibilized by the very systems designed to measure their excellence and progress?<\/p>\n This fireside chat goes there, boldly and without apology. We are talking about the hidden architecture of labor that sustains our society: the mentoring and sponsorship relationships that open doors for some while remaining out of reach for others. We examine and discuss the emotional and intellectual weight carried by racialized and marginalized people across every sector who show up every single day navigating institutions, structures and systems that were not originally built with them in mind.<\/p>\n Access without belonging is a more sophisticated form of exclusion. It closes off the pathways to advancement and social mobility that our schools, workplaces, and civic life promise everyone but do not deliver equitably.<\/p>\n This interactive and engaging session moves from naming the burden to the action of intentionally redesigning oppressive structures, because the future of our communities depends on whether the people who conceptualized them and are holding them together can actually thrive within them.<\/span><\/p>\n [\/et_pb_text][\/et_pb_column][\/et_pb_row][et_pb_row column_structure=”1_3,2_3″ _builder_version=”4.24.2″ _module_preset=”default” custom_padding=”8px|||||” global_colors_info=”{}”][et_pb_column type=”1_3″ _builder_version=”4.24.2″ _module_preset=”default” global_colors_info=”{}”][et_pb_image src=”https:\/\/www.qc.cuny.edu\/ocd\/wp-content\/uploads\/sites\/46\/2026\/04\/logoseek.png” title_text=”logoseek” _builder_version=”4.27.4″ _module_preset=”default” width=”100%” global_colors_info=”{}”][\/et_pb_image][\/et_pb_column][et_pb_column type=”2_3″ _builder_version=”4.24.2″ _module_preset=”default” global_colors_info=”{}”][et_pb_heading title=”SEEK 60th Birthday Celebration ” _builder_version=”4.27.4″ _module_preset=”default” title_level=”h3″ custom_margin=”||16px|||” global_colors_info=”{}”][\/et_pb_heading][et_pb_text _builder_version=”4.27.4″ _module_preset=”default” global_colors_info=”{}”]<\/p>\n Location:\u00a0<\/span><\/b>The Summit \u2013 James Muyskens Conference Center This year SEEK celebrates 60 years. Queens College is home to one of three oldest opportunity programs in the nation. This milestone signifies sixty years of real, lasting, transformative educational change. Come celebrate SEEK’s 60th anniversary with cake, community, and a whole lot of SEEK pride. From its very beginning, SEEK did more than support a population of students. SEEK challenged CUNY as an institution to listen, adapt, and evolve. Through the push for innovative curricular changes, inclusivity that reflected New York’s diverse population, SEEK reshaped how the university understood and responded to student needs. SEEK proved that when institutions embrace the full humanity of their students, education becomes even more powerful.

Using a multiple-case study approach, this project examined how these programs support heritage language preservation and the raciolinguistic identity development of Vietnamese students, particularly in the context of refugee resettlement after the Vietnam War. The study also addresses the gap in scholarship on Vietnamese American education, language, and cultural integration in the U.S. education system.
