The Macaulay Messenger: http://macaulay.cuny.edu/eportfolios/messenger/ The Macaulay Messenger is MHCs student-run digital newspaper. I mentored its founding editors through the launch process, and taught them the WordPress skills they needed to be self-sufficient. The Macaulay Encyclopedia: http://macaulay.cuny.edu/eportfolios/encyclopedia/ The Encyclopedia serves as a compendium of class projects for MHCs Peopling of New York City seminar. Though the seminar has included web projects since 2001, they were not collected and featured together in one site until 2011. I worked with a colleague to aggregate the sites, assess and index their information, and build an archive of our students work that will continue from year to year.
