In Conversation with Lisa Birnbach | OUR TURN: Women Leading Academia

Did you know that women lead half of the Ivy League, many elite liberal arts colleges and giant public systems?

As part of the 92nd Street Y's American Conversation Series, award-winning journalist Lisa Birnbach will lead a discussion with the most influential women in Academia today. Come join the discussion with Nancy Cantor (chancellor of Rutgers University–Newark), and presidents Amy Gutmann (University of Pennsylvania), Biddy Martin (Amherst College) and Christina Paxson (Brown University) as they discuss their career paths, balancing their distinguished careers with family, and the challenges they face in this era of overwhelming college costs and competition from online programs.

This lecture is endowed by Claire B. and Lawrence A. Benenson in memory of their son, Harold Berger Benenson.
