Dean's Message
|
| Dean Edwin M. Lamboy |
Welcome to The City College of New York School of Education website!
As Dean, I am honored to represent and work with faculty and staff who are deeply committed to teacher education, urban schools, and scholarship that informs policy as well as practice. I am equally honored to represent and serve a student body that exemplifies diversity in all of its manifestations, an asset that my colleagues and I cherish and nurture.
The City College School of Education just celebrated its centennial. This celebration not only gave us the opportunity to reflect on our numerous achievements, but also allowed us to envision the many ways in which we could continue transforming, rethinking, and reimagining education in New York City and in the country. It is a most exciting time for us, as the next 100 years are full of possibilities.
I invite you to explore our website and learn more about how the School of Education can help you make an impact on the lives of young children and youth. I hope you get inspired to come to our beautiful campus and pay us a visit!
