Leonard Cassuto will deliver a presentation titled, “The Graduate School Mess: A Cautionary Tale,” which will examine the state of graduate education in the United States and provide concrete solutions for revitalizing graduate education.  Cassuto, Professor of English at Fordham University and graduate education columnist for The Chronicle of Higher Education, argues in his latest book, “The Graduate School Mess” (Harvard University Press, 2015) that universities’ emphasis on research comes at the expense of teaching.  But, reforming graduate schools must begin with teaching and a recommitment to public service.  The Graduate School invites you to join us for a lively discussion on Thursday, November 12th at 5:00 p.m. in the Feliciano School of Business, room 101. 

*Discounted copies of the book will be available for purchase from The Graduate School prior to the event.*
