SUMMARY:30th Anniversary Celebrating the Legacy
LOCATION:
DESCRIPTION: WHAT: Today’s Students Tomorrow’s Teachers (TSTT), a leading teacher diversity mentoring program, will celebrate its 30th Anniversary Celebrating the Legacy in making a significant impact on public education by strengthening the diversity ranks of teachers in the nation’s public schools.

Mayer, Chair of the state Committee on Education; Westchester County Executive Kenneth W. Jenkins; Congressman James E. Clyburn of South Carolina, who has served as TSTT’s Honorary Chair for the past 11 years and who received the Presidential Medal of Freedom in 2024, the nation’s highest civilian honor and John B.
