Teachers College has received a gift of $25,000 from alumna Betty Fairfax to be awarded to students of color to enhance their opportunities for professional development in preparation for careers in urban schools. Examples of how the money can be used include professional conferences, parent involvement programs and tutoring projects. Fairfax has asked the College to match her gift three to one. A more detailed story about this fund will appear in an upcoming issue of Inside TC.
