In memory of Suzie Schuyler, our beloved President. She will be deeply missed.

March 8, 2026

It is with profound sadness that the Henry George School of Social Science announces the passing of our beloved President, Suzie Schuyler, on March 8, 2026.

Suzie was a remarkable leader, a devoted champion of this School's mission, and a cherished member of our community. Her passion for education, her generosity of spirit, and her unwavering commitment to the Henry George School of Social Science inspired all who had the privilege of knowing and working alongside her.

During her leadership, Suzie brought warmth, wisdom, and quiet determination to everything she did. She cared deeply about the people around her and about carrying forward the ideas and educational work that define this institution. Her vision guided the School through consequential moments, and her absence will be felt profoundly by our board, our staff, and the supporters whose lives she touched.

We extend our deepest condolences to Suzie's family and friends, and to all who were fortunate enough to share in her life.

Her legacy will endure in the work we carry on in her memory.

Event: Basic Georgist Principles

December 24, 2025
Join us for an intro to the basics of Georgism.

This course overviews Henry George’s analysis of why poverty persists despite technological progress. We’ll examine some of the public policies that have failed to eliminate involuntary poverty, and what practical remedies could make the opportunity for everyone to earn a comfortable living.

The course is based on George’s book, Progress & Poverty. The original text is a masterpiece of 19th-century exposition and analysis, but it is over 500 pages and not exactly light reading. This course won’t assume that you’ve read the book. There are several versions available at https://hgchicago.org/links/henry-georges-books/.
