Hear from the Dean of the School of Engineering and Applied Sciences, Harvard's first new school in 90 years. Dean Murray is a top physics researcher formerly at Bell and Livermore Labs. This event is discounted thanks to a generous donation from SEAS.

  • Harvard SEAS: Engineering the Future

    Dean Murray will update the audience on Harvard's School of Engineering and Applied Sciences (SEAS). Why did Harvard form SEAS – the University’s first new school in 90 years? Why are students flocking in record numbers to its courses? How is SEAS successfully attracting more female students than its peer schools? Why is Harvard investing the future of SEAS, which will form the academic anchor of the university’s expansion into Allston? Dean Murray will touch upon all this and the latest cutting-edge research being done in Cambridge – from flying robots, to the 3-D printing of blood vessels, SEAS is engineering the future…
