What should be the purpose of higher education? How should it be funded? What role should institutions such as Duke play in the higher education ecosystem? What implications does a changing educational landscape have for teaching? These and other questions are the focus of Duke’s spring speaker series, Re-imagining the Academy.  As part of that series, Eduardo Ochoa, Obama’s top appointee on higher education, speaks  and answers questions tonight ( 2/17)  at 5 p.m. in the York Reading Room in the Divinity School (click for directions). Please come and bring your colleagues!

Prior to his appointment as Assist. Sec. for Postsecondary Education, Eduardo Ochoa was the provost and vice president for Sonoma State University.
