The Clemente Course in the Humanities mourns the passing of our supporter and friend Grace Glueck. An early advocate of Clemente, Grace volunteered to teach Art History in our first ever course at the Roberto Clemente Family Guidance Center in Lower Manhattan.

In addition to inspiring our students, she was a role model for generations of female journalists, spearheading a groundbreaking lawsuit against the New York Times that paved the way for better working conditions for women in newsrooms across the country. Find out more about Grace in the Times' obituary here , and join us in celebrating her legacy of fearlessness, confidence, advocacy for the arts, and intellectual curiosity.
