Membership Benefits

Questers believe that Curiosity Never Retires. When you become a member of QUEST, you’ll join us in an intellectually stimulating atmosphere, and you’ll meet many very interesting people along the way. Many members tell us that they came to learn, but in the process acquired a whole new set of friends.

All QUEST members enjoy:

•    Free entry to the Whitney Museum of Modern American Art.
•    Intellectually stimulating study groups with engaging peers.
•    The option to develop a new course or present one or more topics in any of the 40 courses offered.
•    Special Guest Lectures.
•    Workshop training in how to lead and participate in good discussions.
•    An opportunity to contribute to Q Review, our annual literary and art Journal.
•    Notices about CCNY campus activities of interest to our members.

The physical setting of QUEST is a major benefit: a floor we share with City College and Brooklyn College in the historic Cunard Building, at 25 Broadway. Built in 1921, as New York headquarters for the Cunard Steamship Company, the Cunard Building is just steps from lovely and historic Bowling Green Park at the tip of Manhattan within a block of Battery Park, and surrounded by a wide variety of museums (The Museum of the American Indian in the former US Customs House, Fraunces Tavern, The Museum of American Finance) restaurants and shops.
