Students in Comparative Literature come from over twenty-five countries and are native speakers of as many languages. They bring a range of cultural and intellectual interests and have given the program in Comparative Literature at the Graduate Center an international character second to none that mirrors New York City in all its depth and complexity. While the majority of students tend to emphasize modernism in their coursework and dissertations, a significant number pursue studies in other periods, especially in Medieval, Renaissance, Baroque, and Romantic literatures, as well as in the literatures of the Americas. In recent years our students have accepted teaching positions at Barnard, Williams, Yale, Hamilton, Mount Holyoke, Vanderbilt, Harvard, UCLA, Penn State, Rutgers, The University of Massachusetts, and at a number of CUNY colleges. They have also found positions in Italy, Germany, and Turkey.

Earth Day began in 1970 when a perfect storm of public awareness, political will, and dedicated activism converged to create one of the largest demonstrations in human history. More than 10,000 events engaged 20 million people across America. Everyone from housewives to Hollywood actors took part in the first Earth Day events. Over the years, Earth Day has continued as an annual call to action from classrooms to board rooms. The inclusiveness of the first Earth Day has only grown as Earth Day events have spread around the world. Our organization was founded by a broad coalition of environmental groups to celebrate the 20th Anniversary of Earth Day in New York City in 1990. We organized the largest event ever held in Central Park and every year since then have organized large-scale events in landmark locations. We have also grown into year-round programs and partnerships that all aim to bring the enthusiasm and spirit of Earth Day into our daily lives to meet the environmental challenges of the 21st Century.

Established in 1911 by Danish-American industrialist Niels Poulson and a group of other forward-thinking leaders from business and education, the American-Scandinavian Foundation (ASF) was the first international non-governmental society to have as its sole purpose the development of goodwill through educational and cultural exchange. It was designed to meet the needs of its time through fellowships, scholarly exchange, exhibitions, and publications. These programs have grown over the years, and along with the cultural programs at Scandinavia House: The Nordic Center in America, have provided a comprehensive platform for ongoing international exchange between the United States and the Nordic countries. This international work is at the heart of the Foundation’s mission. Each year, ASF awards over $800,000 in fellowships and grants to individual students, scholars, professionals, and artists for study and research in the United States and abroad. To date, some 30,000 Americans and Scandinavians have participated in these and other ASF programs of study, research, or practical training. In October 2000, ASF opened Scandinavia House as a showplace for Nordic culture and life. Since its founding, it has welcomed over 1.5 million visitors, who have come to enjoy exhibitions, performances, lectures, and more. Scandinavia House was financed by the generosity of more than 300 donors from the U.S. and abroad, including individuals, corporations, and foundations, as well as the Nordic governments and the Nordic Council of Ministers. Scandinavia House: The Nordic Center in America, the leading center for Nordic culture in the United States, offers a wide range of programs that illuminate the culture and vitality of Denmark, Finland, Iceland, Norway, and Sweden. Scandinavia House offerings include diverse exhibitions and film series, as well as concerts and other performances, readings, lectures, symposia, language courses, and children’s activities. Designed by the internationally renowned Polshek Partnership Architects (now Ennead Architects) and inaugurated in October 2000, Scandinavia House is the headquarters of the American-Scandinavian Foundation (ASF) and the site of ASF’s cultural and educational programming.

It began with a promise from a father to his dying son. In 1973, a high school student named T.J. Martell was battling leukemia. He asked his father, music industry executive Tony Martell, to raise a million dollars for cancer research so that “no one else will have to experience what I am going through.” Although he had no fundraising experience, Tony agreed. Two years later, T.J. died at the age of nineteen, and as Tony explains today, “that put my promise in cement.” Soon after, Tony was joined by many of his musician friends like Ella Fitzgerald, Benny Goodman, and Duke Ellington to hold a fundraiser at Buddy Rich’s nightclub in New York. They raised $50,000 and the T.J. Martell Foundation was born. Over the years, hundreds of volunteers have worked passionately to help provide more than $270 million for leukemia, cancer and AIDS research. We are proud of our long history and our reputation for innovation in fundraising and the research we support.

Our History: Marriage Equality, Inc. began as an idea in 1996 with a handful of activists who believed that same-sex couples should have the freedom and the right to civil marriage, and who were angry that the federal government wanted to pass a law barring LGBT people from this right. Marriage Equality New York was founded on 12 February 1998, on National Freedom to Marry Day. Connie Ress led Marriage Equality New York from 1999 until 2001. Another early leader of Marriage Equality New York was Cathy Marino-Thomas, who served the organization in myriad roles including that of Communications Director and President of the Board of Directors. Marriage Equality New York was granted status as a 501(c)(3). The MENY PAC, a separate national political action committee was also established. The New York organization became so successful that activists in Los Angeles, Oakland, and San Francisco, California, responding to that state's 2000 anti-marriage referendum (Proposition 22, the Knight Initiative), began Marriage Equality California (MECA). The primary activists involved in starting Marriage Equality California were Davina Kotulski, L.J. Carusone and Molly McKay, with the help of Connie Ress from New York. Molly McKay and Davina Kotulski quickly became nationally recognized public faces of the marriage equality movement, usually with McKay wearing a wedding dress which she referred to as her "battle garb". Kotulski coined the term "Love Warriors" which became used nationwide and was the title of a book she later authored about the marriage equality movement. In 2001 Connie Ress and Jesus Lebron co-founded Marriage Equality USA® (MEUSA™) and Ress served as the organization’s first Executive Director until 2005. In 2004 MECA merged with Equality California (EQCA), in the hopes of providing added strength to both organizations. The merger was unsuccessful, primarily because EQCA and MECA functioned using entirely different organizational structures. In 2006 the original leadership of MECA met with core grassroots activists who either had been involved with MECA prior to the merger, or who had worked with MECA and then with Equality California through-out the merger, but who preferred to do grassroots activism MECA-style, and voted to re-organize as the California chapter of Marriage Equality USA®. In 2005 Davina Kotulski became the Executive Director of Marriage Equality USA®, serving until 2007. After Kotulski stepped down, the Board of Directors decided not to fill the Executive Director position, opting rather to function with a working Board to oversee the legal and fiduciary duties of the organization. Between 2006 and 2010 Marriage Equality USA® expanded and established chapters in Arizona, Florida, Indiana, Iowa, New Hampshire, Ohio, and Pennsylvania, in addition to the existing 20+ county chapters in California. The organization also created outreach positions in the form of Community Liaisons who represent and work with specialized communities such as Parents, Seniors, Jewish, Communities of Faith, and Asian-Pacific Islander. (Please see Visit Chapters and Community Voices.) In March 2009 the new By-Laws were adopted and approved by the MEUSA™ Board of Directors. In August of 2009 Marriage Equality USA® became a registered 501(c)(3). In June 2011 the New York Marriage Equality Act was passed and on 15 December 2011 Marriage Equality USA® and Marriage Equality New York announced their intention to consolidate. In the Spring of 2012 Marriage Equality New York (MENY) became a state chapter of Marriage Equality USA and the majority of the MENY Board of directors was voted on to the national MEUSA Board of Directors. Cathy Marino-Thomas, President of MENY, and Dave Janis-Kitzmiller, President of MEUSA, joined together to serve as Co-Presidents of the new Board of Directors. The Executive Director position was re-activated and Brian Silva was hired to fill that position for Marriage Equality USA. At the same time the current By-Laws were adopted.
