For this unique event, we bring together Professors Sanjay Sarma, Former Yale University Presidents Richard Levin and Peter Salovey, and Priyamvada Natarajan for a moderated conversation on the critical subject of how higher education, particularly at the four-year undergraduate level, can be re-envisioned in a model that addresses rising tuition costs, ballooning student debt, and preparedness for the work force, all while delivering individualized educational experiences that cultivate interdisciplinary engagement in cooperative learning environments.
