The Charlotte K. Frank Education Classroom at Hunter College
By Merideth Halpern
Hunter alumna Dr. Charlotte K. Frank (MsEd ’66) has contributed $100,000 to the College for the creation of a new model classroom equipped with the latest technology equipment for faculty and students. Named the Dr. Charlotte K. Frank Education Classroom, the room was dedicated at a ceremony on March 19th where Frank, a former New York State Regent and current Senior Vice President of McGraw Hill, was honored for her commitment to Hunter College. The unique classroom–located in Room 1203 of Hunter’s East Building–offers 20 laptop computers, SmartBoards, videoconferencing, wireless Internet, iPods and numerous other up-to-date learning tools. Groups of up to 60 may use the room for lectures, workshops, seminars or conferences. Frank has received more than 60 awards for her many years of achievements in education. She was inducted into the Hunter College Hall of Fame in 1999. “Hunter has played a large part in my career,” she says. “It taught me that you had to work hard to achieve, but you can gain great joy from your work.”#
