Build It and They Will Come

Gateway to Opportunity?
When 20-year-old Yaritza Agramonte transferred to Bronx Community College last fall, she viewed it as a step toward making good on a promise to her parents, who emigrated to the U.S. from the Dominican Republic: she would earn a college degree.

Re-Imagining New Orleans
The elephant in the room. It's the image for a bad situation that's being ignored. But for a small group of students and alumni from Teachers College and Columbia University who visited New Orleans early in 2006, it may have been forever eclipsed by the sight of a 180-ton barge sitting in the middle of a street in the city's abandoned Ninth Ward.

The College has been repeatedly ranked at or near the top of education schools during that period.

Rip Van Winkle, 2006
This is my final Annual Report as President of Teachers College. The reader should take heart in knowing that I have not written a retrospective on my 12 years here. Instead, in keeping with the rest of this Report, which explores how TC is shaping education policy and practice in America, I will examine-'"albeit in a somewhat unorthodox manner-'"the nation's changing social landscape and its implications for public policy.
