I am an Assistant Registrar who manages the course schedule and assigns classroom space.  My association with CUNY goes back to high school and includes a Bachelor's degree from Hunter and a Master's from Queens.

When I am not at my desk in Shuster Hall, I enjoy walking on the Lehman campus, teaching a class on mystery fiction at Bronxville Adult School, and jewelry-making.  I am also a freelance editor, working with authors who self-publish their e-books.

I am so looking forward to the completion of the New Science Building and can't wait to see the wetland that will be created in the building's courtyard!  My interests also include the art of plant illustration and as part of the  2012 Bead Journal Project, I am working on a series of pieces on plants and trees.  Some of my inspiration comes from the natural beauty of the Lehman campus and I have a particular fondnesss for the Lehman corn field!

  And time remembered is grief forgotten,
  And frosts are slain and flowers begotten,
  And in green underwood and cover
    Blossom by blossom the spring begins.

Welcome to Jean Geiger's blog about people and places at Lehman College!  I want to share with you the sights and sounds here on campus. I may write about the people I meet or the things I see. Each post will be a little taste of what Lehman is like. I hope they will entice you to visit our historic campus or, if you are already part of the Lehman community, to see it with fresh eyes.

So I will start very simply.  The first thing I look at each morning when I arrive at my office in Shuster Hall...Read More » »
