What role should our universities play in the 21st century? Do we need a new generation of land-grant institutions? Are our current institutions of higher education fulfilling their educational missions? Additionally, what responsibility do universities have to the cities in which they exist, and the populations that they employ? This session takes a close look at a variety of models for high-impact town-gown collaboration, including tech transfer and venture creation, working world-class cultural amenities into the urban fabric, equitable statewide employment, and co-investment in downtown renewal.
