Levin's retirement as president of Yale University, this captivating collection of speeches and essays from the past decade reflects both his varied intellectual passions and his deep commitment to university life and leadership. Whether discussing the economic implications of climate change or speaking to an incoming class of Yale freshmen, he argues for the vital importance of scholarship and the critical role that universities play in educating students and promoting the overall well-being of our society.This collection is a sequel to The Work of the University, which contained the principal writings from Levin's first decade as Yale's president, and it enunciates many of the same enduring themes: forging a strong partnership with the city of New Haven, rebuilding Yale's physical infrastructure, strengthening science and engineering, and internationalizing the university. But this companion volume also captures the essence of university leadership. In addressing topics as varied as his personal sources of inspiration, the development of Asian universities, and the university's role in promoting innovation and economic growth, Levin challenges the reader to be more engaged, more creative, more innovative, and above all, a better global citizen. Throughout, his commitment to and affection for Yale shines through. 606 $aEducation, Higher 606 $aUniversities and colleges 607 $aUnited States$2fast 615 0$aEducation, Higher. 615 0$aUniversities and colleges. 676 $a378.001 700 $aLevin$b Richard C., $4aut$4http://id.loc.gov/vocabulary/relators/aut$01201358 701 $aLevin$b Richard C$01201358 801 0$bDE-B1597 801 1$bDE-B1597 906 $aBOOK 912 $a9910822704803321 996 $aThe Worth of the University$93925943 997 $aUNINA
