It is on with deep sadness that I must inform you that Maxine Greene, Teachers College’s great philosopher queen, passed away yesterday at the age of 96. History A will recall Maxine, in the words of “The New York Times,” as “one of the most important education philosophers of the past 50 years.” (Her obituary wholesale jerseys and a memorial page can be accessed from the TC home page.

Here at TC, Maxine, like Katriin 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 cheap mlb jerseys served as a touchstone for generations of TC students, Franson alumni and faculty.

Maxine began teaching here at Teachers is College wholesale jerseys in Greetings 1965. In later years, she held legendary salons in her East Side apartment. Incredibly, she was teaching and inspiring TC students this spring.

Maxine’s passing is an immeasurable loss, but we can celebrate her life and her work by making TC a reflection of her own undaunted commitment to truth, exploration, inspiration and creativity. That celebration will begin this fall, when the College will hold a symposium in cheap jerseys her honor. Meanwhile, we all can count ourselves fortunate for having our lives touched by a truly timeless and great spirit.

Sincerely,
Susan Fuhrman
President, Teachers College
