Matthew Gold is Assistant Professor of English at New York City College of Technology and the CUNY Graduate Center, where he also serves as Assistant to the Provost for Master’s Programs and Digital Initiatives. He’s began using WordPress in 2004; since then, he’s gone on to direct several WordPress/BuddyPress academic projects, including the CUNY Academic Commons and Looking for Whitman. Matt’s especially proud that these projects contribute back to the WordPress community; the plugins developed by the CUNY Academic Commons team have been downloaded over 100,000 times.
Matthew will be participating in the Academic Panel – Socializing Higher Education through Content Management Systems.
