Teachers College strives to develop and maintain a respectful and vibrant community, which encourages and supports each individual in the achievement of their full potential.
TC’s Advancing Community Together (ACT) is a new initiative designed to support the health and strength of the Teachers College community through a range of strategies and actions in two broad categories: community engagement and infrastructure. Throughout the year, this site will provide ACT information, and highlight opportunities and resources for TC students, faculty and staff members to join together in cultivating a healthy and vibrant community.
Our multicultural, urban environment impacts almost everything we do and provides unique educational and social opportunities found nowhere else. We also have deep ties with the local community. Many of our projects and offices work to directly impact our city, students, and educators.
Visit our campus to sample the learning and social environments we have designed for our students, faculty and staff. Each day brings new special lectures, colloquia, and workshops, which augment the multitude of academic offerings at Teachers College. The campus, and the great city of New York, provide opportunities for extraordinary experiences.
