Each semester, the Center for Multicultural Education and Programs (CMEP) distributes a calendar to keep the NYU community informed of major events and programs. Each calendar also features a quote that represents the semester, with the Fall Semester of 2022 highlighting the June Jordan quote, ‘We are the ones we have been waiting for.’ The design not only serves as an informative tool but also features the quote on the reverse side, transforming the calendar into a poster and adding an aesthetic dimension.

Given the diverse and expansive community at NYU, accessibility is a key consideration in the design of the calendar. All text is set to a minimum of 14pt to ensure readability. Additionally, a QR code on the calendar links to a digital version, where the events can be accessed and read aloud using text-to-speech technology.
