Welcome to the Multicultural Connect! A gathering of multicultural information for residents living in Suffolk County, Long Island, New York area and beyond. Several goals are intended for this useful blog:
* To serve as a resource to keep current on information regarding English language learning as well as learning other world languages.
* To share information to newcomers to our country and our community.
* And to learn what organizations have been doing to help serve diverse communities.

Nation of Immigrants Curriculum

This interactive website designed by the LaGuardia and Wagner Archives, located at LaGuardia Community College which is part of the City University of New York (CUNY), offers a fountain of information for individuals interested in learning about the history of immigration to the United States.  It's clear that the site was originally meant for CUNY students, but the beauty of it is that anyone can access the online collection.  The essay section discusses the immigrant experience through literary works of well known authors. The site also offers links for curriculum developed for students in middle and high school.  There is an area on the site where students are encouraged to share their immigrant experience stories.  It's clear that the Nation of Immigrants Curriculum site will continue evolve.
