Professors and teachers: Bring your students to Hunter readings

Hunter professors, you are welcome to bring your students to Hunter readings. Please contact the Special Events Department at spevents@hunter.cuny.edu or 212-772-4007, stating how many people you'd like to bring. Even if your class-time finishes before the end of the reading, it may still be possible to accomodate you, depending on the venue. Contact Special Events, for more details.

Directions

Hunter College: Take the 6-train to the 68th St/Hunter College stop, the F-train to the Lexington Ave/63rd St stop, or the N/R/W-train to the Lexington Ave/59th St stop. Exit on Lexington Ave. Hunter is on Lexingon Ave at 68th St.

Faculty Dining Room: Enter the Hunter West Building, on the south-west corner of Lexington Ave & 68th St. Go up two flights of escelators, to the 3rd floor, and take the elevator to the 8th floor. The Faculty Dining Room is right there. To avoid the escelators, ask at the security desk on the ground floor to be directed to the ground-floor elevator.

Lang Recital Hall: Enter the Hunter North Building on 69th St, just east of Park Ave, and take the elevator to the 4th floor. Turn left out of the elevator, walk to end of the elevator bank and through the double doors, and then turn left again. The Lang is right there.
