"Reinventing the University for the 21st Century" The Executive Dean's Distinguished Lecture, featuring David Ehrenfeld.

David Ehrenfeld, professor in the Department of Ecology, Evolution, and Natural Resources at Rutgers' School of Environmental and Biological Sciences, believes that land grant universities, like Rutgers, are ideally positioned to lead the revolution in higher education by teaching students how to be more self-sufficient and less dependent on the global economy, and how to rediscover and implement the original American belief that production is more important than consumption.
  
Ehrenfeld has been a steady force in the Rutgers classroom for 38 years. Winner of the Barbara Goff Teacher of the Year Award in 2011, he teaches four very popular courses every year: Field Ecology and graduate Conservation Ecology in the fall, and undergraduate Conservation Ecology and Principles of Ecology each spring.
 
With a B.A. from Harvard in American history, an M.D. from Harvard Medical School with honors in biochemistry, and a Ph.D. from the University of Florida in zoology, Ehrenfeld brings a broad and unusual perspective to both conservation biology and higher education.

There is no cost to attend the lecture and reception, but registration is requested.
