- Dr. Ruth Westheimer - the orphan of the Holocaust, behavioral therapist, author, and talk show host credited with easing conversations around sex - died on Friday, July 12, 2024, in Manhattan at the age of 96.
A dedicated alumna and friend of Teachers College, Dr. Ruth imparted her wisdom while teaching at TC as an adjunct faculty member. She was honored with the Distinguished Alumni Award in 1991, and the Medal for Distinguished Service - TC’s highest honor - in 2006.
At each turn, TC remained central to Westheimer's life. She returned as an adjunct to teach courses on “Families, Television and Other Media;” made regular presentations to Academic Festival for alumni and Reimagining Education Summer Institute participants; and championed the College as a supporter, including by bolstering financial assistance to students through the Dr. Ruth Westheimer Scholarship Fund, created in 2001.
