A Message from President Fuhrman
 It is with deep sadness that I inform you that Maxine Greene, Teachers College's great philosopher queen, passed away on May 26 at the age of 96. History will recall Maxine, in the words of "The New York Times," as "one of the most important education philosophers of the past 50 years." Here at TC, Maxine, like John Dewey in his own time, was a living lens for all that is best and most essential about our mission and work. She was a beloved and cherished figure who served as a touchstone for generations of TC students, alumni and faculty. Maxine's passing is an immeasurable loss. We can count ourselves fortunate for having our lives touched by a truly timeless and great spirit. Share your memories and read more of her impact here.
