Tishman Center Promotions and New Hires!

We are pleased to announce a number of staff promotions and new hires at the Tishman Center that will allow us to better serve the campus community, TNS sustainability goals, and President McBride’s Four Pillars of Fearless Progress. The Tishman Center recently received a catalytic grant from an anonymous, new climate funder that will support our strategic growth strategy over the next three years enabling us to hire a number of new employees engaged in campus programming serving faculty, staff and students and in growing our action-based research with frontline, grassroots partners in the tri-state region and around the country. Our expansion has been made possible through the great work and commitment of our staff, faculty and leadership. This illustrates the timeliness and urgency of the climate emergency and environmental justice work the Tishman Center undertakes.
