President Mayme Hostetter comes to �������� with a 17-year record of effective leadership at a private institution.

Dr. Hostetter is a Twin Cities native. She attended Harvard University as a National Merit Scholar, graduating magna cum laude in English. Dr. Hostetter earned her EdM from Harvard Graduate School of Education and her EdD from Columbia University’s Teachers College. She has also worked in MIT’s Department of Brain and Cognitive Sciences as a member of the Gabrieli Laboratory, investigating the neural pathways of typical and atypical reading development, and has English teaching experience.

Dr. Hostetter returned to New York in 2008 to serve as a founding Director of Teaching and Learning at Teacher U at Hunter College. In 2011, she helped to found the Relay Graduate School of Education in New York City.

As Relay grew, so too did Dr. Hostetter’s role and responsibilities. As President of Relay, Dr. Hostetter ensured that this relatively new institution was establishing itself as a stable one—financially and administratively. Under her administration, Relay carried no debt and was the only graduate school of education in the country to earn five straight “A” ratings from the National Council on Teacher Quality, the toughest evaluator in the field. Last spring, Dr. Hostetter was named a 2024 Presidential Leadership Scholar by the Bush, Clinton, and LBJ Foundations.

As ��������'s 22nd president, Dr. Hostetter brings a wealth of experience, a commitment to student success, and a desire to work with our community as a team player.

I am so excited to become part of the �������� community. I look forward to learning from and leading with each of you.
