The Cullman Center Institute for Teachers: Events

“The Cullman Center and its workshops are an inspiration, a reminder, a challenge to stay focused on what matters in education—curiosity and inquiry.” — Matthew Hoffman, history and geography teacher in the International High School at Lafayette

“Your dedication and generosity to NYC public school teachers are truly remarkable, a much appreciated reminder that teaching is a noble profession. You show that in everything you do.” — Cinda Becker,  English teacher at Crotona Academy

The Cullman Center Institute for Teachers provides opportunities for teachers to enrich their understanding of the humanities in The New York Public Library's landmark building at Fifth Avenue and 42nd Street.  Leading our seminars are scholars and writers who have won Cullman Center Fellowships and pursued their excellent work using the research collections of this Library.
