Cornell University is collaborating with its fellow Ivy League schools and other universities on 'Academic Innovation for the Public Good,' a new book talk series hosted by Stanford University. Each event will foster discussion about how to make higher education’s future more equitable and accessible.‌

Sarah Stein Greenberg is the Executive Director of Stanford d.school, also known as Hasso Plattner Institute of Design. She is the author of Creative Acts for Curious People: How to Think, Create, and Lead in Unconventional Ways, which offers ideas, assignments, anecdotes and more to foster creativity and leadership. She will be interviewed by Allison Salisbury, a senior vice president at Guild Education, which provides companies with an education platform to upskill their workers.

About Academic Innovation for the Public Good

‌Stanford Digital Education and Trinity College have organized 10 monthly book conversations online with leading scholars on how higher education can affect the public good. We hope this program will foster discussion about how to make higher education’s future more equitable and accessible.

Each event features an author of a recently published book exploring the role of colleges and universities in addressing society’s problems. An expert in the author’s field will conduct the interview, followed by questions from the audience. Event attendees can purchase a signed copy of the book through Book Culture.

The book conversations are free, and all are welcome. Those wishing to attend one or more of the events should register in advance and are welcome to participate in the related Conversations before, after, and in-between events.
