“I Touch the Future; I Teach”—Christa McAuliffe

Education Update has launched what has become an annual event in New York City: honoring outstanding teachers who inspire, motivate, energize and bring a love of learning and thirst for knowledge to their students. The outstanding teachers are on the cutting edge of transmitting ideas, concepts, philosophy and ethics. They are lifelong learners trained to facilitate the flow of information between teacher and student. They possess a unique ability of seeing the world through the lens of childhood and adolescence thereby entering and participating in the realm of the student.

ILLUSTRIOUS GUESTS
Illustrious guests attending the event included many college presidents, chancellors, vice-chancellors and deans. Attendees included: Matthew Goldstein, Chancellor, City University of New York; Jay Hershenson, Board Secretary & Vice Chancellor, CUNY; Augusta Kappner, President, Bank Street College of Education; Fern Khan, Dean, Bank Street College of Education; Regina Perrugi, President, Kingsborough Community College, CUNY; Alfred S. Posamentier, Dean, CCNY; Jennifer Raab, President, Hunter College, CUNY; Ned Regan, President, Baruch College, CUNY; Eva Spinelli, Dean, Touro College; Marlene Springer, President, College of Staten Island, CUNY.
