"Science and Higher Education Policy" with Michael Crow
Arizona State University president and Maxwell alumnus Michael M. Crow
’85 will visit the Maxwell School on November 17th for an informal
discussion about science and higher education policy. The event is being presented by the Center for
Technology and Information Policy (CTIP) and is part of a series of events on
science, technology and education policy in honor of Maxwell’s 90th
anniversary.
Crow is ASU’s 16th president and is credited with improving
the quality and reputation of the university since he was selected as president
in 2002. A highly respected scholar in
the areas of education and technology, he recently partnered with Starbucks to
provide on-line degrees for employees and create an alliance across several
universities to expand enrollment for low-income students. Crow was named recently to the board of the U.S.
Global Leadership Coalition. Before
joining ASU, he served as the executive vice provost of Columbia University,
where he was also professor of science and technology policy in the School of
International and Public Affairs.
Crow’s presentation will take place on Monday, November 17, from 10:30
