Meagan Lacy Assistant Professor Librarian Email: Meagan.Lacy@guttman.cuny.edu Phone: 646-313-8288 Location: 611-C CV: View Read Bio Meagan Lacy earned her BA, with majors in philosophy and English, at Seattle University, her MLIS at the University of Washington, and her MA in English at Indiana University (Indianapolis). Meagan became a librarian primarily because she is attracted to the profession’s core values—its democratic mission and its commitment to lifelong learning through information literacy. As Guttman’s information literacy librarian, her main task is to empower students to use information critically to learn and to create new knowledge. Having previously worked in public and private K-12 schools, she saw firsthand the difference information makes, the advantage—the privilege—of better access. So, whether she is teaching in the classroom, or meeting with a student for a research consultation, or providing access to faculty scholarship by posting their work to CUNY’s online intuitional repository, her goal is to narrow this divide. Information literacy, the ability to recognize when one needs information and to effectively find, evaluate, and use the needed information is important not only to one’s academic success but also to one’s social and political well-being. Without IL skills, one cannot participate in democracy, and one cannot be free. Key Research Interests Critical information literacy, reading literacy, children’s literature

Luis Zambrano Instructor Email: Luis.Zambrano@guttman.cuny.edu Phone: 646-313-8282 Location: 611-E CV: View Read Bio Luis Zambrano is a mathematics instructor at Guttman Community College since Fall 2016. His primary area of interest is supporting access to and success in undergraduate mathematics education for all students. He was a recent nominee for Baruch College’s President’s Award for Excellence in Teaching and was also recognized by Los Angeles Community College’s Faculty Learning and Teaching Award for innovative and successful uses of literacy in STEM learning. Current work, based on the belief that students innately possess the power not only to direct their own learning but also to gain mastery of any content, seeks methods by which students can draw upon immanent skills and knowledge, including native creativity, to direct and command their inquiry of mathematics. He holds a Master of Science in Pure Mathematics from California State University, Los Angeles, a Bachelor’s degree in chemical engineering from the University of Minnesota, and has also completed post-graduate studies in classical theatre performance in England. He is currently a doctoral student in the Urban Education PhD program at the Graduate Center, CUNY.
