Moses Center for Students with Disabilities
The Henry and Lucy Moses Center for Students with Disabilities provides comprehensive services and programs for undergraduate and graduate students with hearing and visual impairments, mobility impairments, learning disabilities and attention deficit disorders, chronic illnesses, and psychological impairments.
First Women Athletes
The first women athletes to participate in the Olympics competed at the Amsterdam Games in 1928. Members of the women's swim team included NYU swim team captain Ethel McCary Engelsen (WSC 1928), Lisa Lindstrom Olson (WSC 1934), who was still a high school student in 1928, and Mary Washburn Conklin (WSC 1928).
CTE supports faculty and graduate student teaching at New York University. CTE organizes workshops, offers individual feedback and consultation services, and provides other practical resources to members of the NYU community to enhance their effectiveness in the classroom and laboratory.
The center's programs and services treat teaching as serious intellectual work that is integrally related to, and supportive of, the research conducted by faculty, and approach college courses as windows on, and expressions of, the way faculty define and practice their disciplines and inter-disciplines.
CTE also promotes an ongoing, university-wide discussion about teaching and learning matters, striving both to facilitate and contribute to that conversation. Diversity in teaching and learning and the employment of technology in teaching are among the special, recurrent priorities for that discussion.
