Light, Richard: Strengthening Student Success: Six Suggestions

Richard Light, Walter H. Gale Professor of Education of the John F. Kennedy School of Government at Harvard University, talks about effective and organized teaching, focused on connecting abstract academic ideas to more practical, quotidian thoughts. His award-winning book, Making the Most of College (Harvard, 2001), which is based on 10 years of student interviews, serves as a springboard for the discussion. Professor Light is introduced by Associate Provost Dennis Slavin. The event takes place on November 19, 2008, at the Baruch College Vertical Campus, Room 14-250.
