35 W67th Street: A History

Mary N. on Dipity.

We used Dipity to display information about the history of the Macaulay Honors College Building. The Macaulay Honors Building is such an integral part of the Honors College and we felt that understanding the history of the building was important to appreciating the program itself. We learned about the building’s history, honed our research skills, discovered Dipity and its uses, and figured out how to embed our files on ePortfolio.

What did you do- Why did you choose it- What did you learn?
We chose Lincoln center because of its interesting history and its iconic status as New York City landmark. Some of our group members attended school in the area, and were enthusiastic about choosing this location.

We did a historical analysis, and a summary of the variety of services provided at the Lincoln Art Center.

We learn a lot of fun facts about the center. It was designed by Robert Moses, and President Eisenhower attended the groundbreaking ceremony. Some of the pictures we found show that that ceremony was a star-studded event.
