Special Episode - TC President Thomas Bailey

Media and Social Change Podcast

Teachers College, the first and largest graduate school of education in the U.S., serves students in the interrelated fields of education, health, and psychology. It does so through a number of degree programs, centers, labs, and institutes spread out across a large, city-block campus in New York City. Its partnerships have national and global reach. MASCLab sat down with TC’s Tom Bailey just ahead of his inauguration as the school’s 11th President. We wanted to hear his thoughts on taking the helm of our longstanding institution at this time in our nation’s history. We spoke with President Bailey about—among other things—his vision for the college, the state of higher education, and his love of Chopin.
