All three events are sponsored by the Blanche & Irving Laurie Foundation.
Earlier this season, Drew Forum kicked off with renowned educator and scholar of technology and cognition Cathy N. Davidson, supported by the endowment for the Merrill Maguire Skaggs Lecture series.
Read what Davidson had to say about the past, present and future of higher education here, and what Olivia Yepez C’22 took away from Davidson’s discussion with students here.
Shameful and gross that Kelly is making money on the spouting BS circuit after implementing the “put kids in cages to make america great” program. Should be run out of town on a rail.
