Pritzker Fellow Steve Sisolak on "Improving Access to Education"

(Current UChicago Students Only)

Monday, February 13

3:30-4:45 PM

The Board of Regents, which was my first job in public service, governs the state higher education system, comprised of 8 institutions. This involves setting policy priorities and budgets for the entire system. How does state higher education function? What measures can be put in place to ensure access to and quality of education? How does a state think about educating students for in-state job opportunities? We’ll look at these questions and others in a discussion of the challenges in public higher education. We’ll also dive into primary education and some of the investments we made in the system during my time as Governor.

Pritzker Fellows seminars are off the record and open to current UChicago students only. Seating in the IOP Living Room is limited and available on a first-come, first-served basis.
