Making the Case for the Public Impact from Our Work

Much evidence points toward a crisis in public confidence in higher education. While tempting for faculty members to respond defensively, this moment provides an opportunity for researchers, teachers and community-engaged scholars to make a case for ourselves through finding new ways to articulate our values and to make evident the benefits we provide to our students and, ultimately, to the life of a vibrant and democratic community.

Please join us for the first of three one-hour discussions on Making the Case for Higher Education. In this first event, panelists will examine the public impact from our work.

Speakers:

• Amy Fairchild, Professor, Maxwell School
• Sean O’Keefe, University Professor, Maxwell School
• Marcelle Haddix, Associate Provost for Strategic Initiatives (moderator)
