Where the Future Comes First is our $300 MILLION campaign to transform the education, health and well-being of individuals and communities in new york City, the nation and the world. We’re halfway to our goal! As of the campaign launch in November 2013, we’ve raised $151 MILLION for TC’s future. 

Teachers College takes pride in its legacy of firsts — a 125-year tradition of pioneering and leading numerous fields and giving birth to ideas that addressed the urgent challenges of the times. now, we ask “What’s next?” “how will we rise to the challenges of tomorrow?”

Our answer is this historic campaign — the largest ever by a graduate school of education — which charts the way forward to our Future Firsts that will shape this century.

The Campaign for Teachers College is about our future — a future where the best students from around the world learn, discover and lead, free from the burden of student loan debt.

A future where world-class faculty galvanize new fields of inquiry and practice — and inspire students through teaching, research and policy leadership. 

A future where programs and partnerships transform our schools, foster healthier communities and create a more just, equitable and prosperous society .

And a future where people study, work and gather in historic buildings renewed for the 21st century and infused with technology to build community and make learning a dynamic collaboration. With a successful campaign that supports our five priority areas, Teachers College will once again be the place

WHERE THE FUTURE COMES FIRST.
