Universities today face complex, sometimes contradictory imperatives-to
be at once local, regional, national, and international, and to preserve
academic values while engaging with industry, government, and
society. Dr. Hockfield will discuss the principles that can help us
understand the proper role of the modern university, and the special
responsibilities faced by educators, students, and researchers in the
physical sciences, the life sciences, and technology.<br>
<br>
A noted neuroscientist whose research has focused on the development of
the brain, Susan Hockfield is the first life scientist to lead MIT. She
received her bachelor's degree in biology from the University of
Rochester; earned a Ph.D. in anatomy and neuroscience from Georgetown
University School of Medicine; and became the William Edward Gilbert
Professor of Neurobiology and provost at Yale University before being
named as the 16th president of MIT in December 2004.<br><br>
A reception will be held outside of the Kirsch Auditorium immediately
following President Hockfield's lecture. Please join us next Monday
afternoon.<br>
