Our History

Since its founding in 1984, the Center for School-College Collaboratives (CSCC) at Lehman College has fostered strong partnerships with local schools in the Bronx and consistently supported teacher candidates in the School of Education.

Under the leadership of Dr. Anne Rothstein for 36 years, the CSCC secured more than $300 million in ongoing funding from federal, state, and foundation sources to enhance educational programming and develop a K-16 pipeline benefiting over 100,000 students and educators.

In addition to grants awarded directly to the CSCC, collaborative proposals with the School of Education and other Lehman College departments have garnered an additional $100 million in funding. With Dr. Tiffany DeJaynes taking on the role of Director in September 2022, the CSCC remains committed to securing further funding to strengthen its capacity to support K-16 success.
