As the Dean of the Lander College for Women of Touro College, I am delighted to introduce myself and the college to you. I look forward to meeting you.
At the Lander College for Women, you will be learning in a supportive but challenging environment. The high level of interaction between students and faculty encourages our students to be creative, strive for distinction and achieve excellence. All of our faculty members are scholars and dedicated teachers who bring practical knowledge to the classroom. They will enable you to excel at critical thinking, problem solving, and oral and written communication. In particular, at the Lander College for Women, the opportunity to pursue Judaic Studies on a high level and learn from a world-class Judaic studies faculty is unparalleled. Our small class sizes and the personalized attention that you receive in each of your classes will add an important dimension to your education and will help you achieve your best in the classroom, your careers, and your future lives.
Lander College for Women is at an exciting juncture as we prepare to move to a beautiful new state-of-the art facility on the Upper West Side of Manhattan. Our new building reflects our attitude toward education. Our educational approach is for learning to take place not only inside the classroom, but also in casual conversations with faculty members and in discussions with our student body from the US and around the world. The resources and structure of our new building will facilitate academic achievement and enhance student-faculty interaction. Our location in one of the most active Jewish communities in Manhattan will make Lander College for Women an exciting environment to pursue a college education.
Our students today have a broad range of interests. They focus on history and literature, art and music, psychology and business, and many other academic disciplines. Lander College for Women integrates the intellectual pursuit of traditional liberal arts majors with internships and mentorships that form the foundation for practical preparation for professional careers in business, education, and the sciences. The achievements of our alumni who successfully balance their religious commitments with careers in diverse professional fields reflect the excellence of their Jewish and secular education.
Our mission is to promote the pursuit of knowledge in religious and secular environments and foster intellectual curiosity so that our graduates will be successful women who are able to lead and contribute. We strive to create an academic environment in which students are challenged and inspired to excel. We invite you to join us for this rewarding college experience.
