SPOTLIGHT
Courtney Lee
Secretary
Hi, I'm Courtney! Like some of
you, I am new to the Steinhardt
community. Prior to coming to
New York, I spent a year living
and teaching English at a
university in China. I decided to
better my teaching skills by obtaining a graduate
degree in English Education here at NYU. I am
looking forward to developing a community here at
NYU and helping other students do so as well. I hope
to see you around campus and at some of our
upcoming events. Feel free to send us an email
anytime, we're here for you!
