Leinwand came
to Oregon College of Education
from Baruch College in New
York City, where he was the
Dean of Education. At OCE,
he saw an opportunity for
change and great potential
in a school that had education
and liberal arts in the curriculum.
Leinwand received his Bachelor
of Arts degree from the New
York University in 1941, his
masters from Columbia University
in 1945 and his doctorate
from New York University in
1963.
When he arrived at Oregon
College of Education in 1977,
he had many great ideas for
the college. He even changed
the name of the school to
Western Oregon State College
in 1981 to make it more than
just an education college.
The constant fight for funding
and enrollment was tiring
and, in 1982, after five years
as president, Leinwand retired
from WOSC and went back to
New York City.
