Muppets, Mentorship & Memories: Sue Freund Scheiner’s 35 Years "on" Sesame Street

Cornell (thank) U Season 4 Episode 174

This week we talk to Sue Scheiner about her path from beautiful Cornell to the vibrant world of Sesame Street.

We had an incredibly fun and nostalgic conversation about education, inspiration, and the magic of mentorship. 

As an HDFS major in Cornell Human Ecology, she was guided by the wonderful Professor John Condry, whose influence helped launch her 35-year career at Sesame Street. 

Sue shares how her love for learning, her incredible Cornell friendships, and her passion for children’s media shaped her career. And after all these years, she still likes going to work every day! #Goals

Plus, we put our own Muppet creations to the test—did they get the Sesame Street seal of approval? And have you heard of Miss Rachel?

We loved spending time with Sue - she's just the best.
