Abstract


Abstract The City University of New York (CUNY) has had a long engagement with various aspects of the Wikimedia movement for the last 10+ years. In 2025, CUNY welcomed its first Wikimedian-in-Residence, Richard Knipel. This session will explore how CUNY is using that position to institutionalize and grow its role across 25 colleges and the many academic units that serve this system. Based at the Office of Library Services as a hub, and with the support of a dedicated documentation role as well, the goal is to bring together aspects of the university system as they overlap with Wikimedia projects in a cross-disciplinary manner. There will be a demonstration of stakeholder-mapping and content-mapping to explore how a public university system in a diverse city can embrace and institutionalize the Wikimedia movement as part of its everyday practices. A vision will be shared with participants of cross-institutional efforts blooming in the shape of a flower, and we will lead a demonstration of how participants can draw their own flower models. We will explore the history and future of on-the-ground Wiki work at colleges and universities, including an exercise where participants will be able to map their own institutions to match Wiki projects and collaborative efforts, both existing and potential future ones.
