Taylor Moyer, co-founder of the Sustainability Task Force, is the recipient of the 2021 Campbell Award. In 2016, the Columbia University Trustees and the Columbia Alumni Association (CAA) established The Campbell Award, which is presented to a graduating student at each School who shows exceptional leadership and Columbia spirit as exemplified by the late Bill Campbell '62CC, '64TC, Chair Emeritus, University Trustee, and CAA co-founder.
Taylor Moyer is from Baltimore, MD, and came to Teachers College after working in the nonprofit sector, in IT, and overseas as a teacher, most recently in the Peace Corps. She earned an MA in International Educational Development with a concentration in Language and Culture and completed an internship at Education Cannot Wait Fund during her program. In addition to serving as the president of the Society for International Education, Taylor co-founded the Sustainability Task Force which is dedicated to growing a sustainable culture and advocating for sustainable change at TC and the CU campus. As a student leader, she hosted over a dozen events, including (Un)Spoken: A Celebration of Mother Language Day, which brought together students, staff, faculty, and the greater CU community to amplify the message of multilingualism and cultural diversity on Columbia's campuses and beyond.
Congratulations Taylor!
