In a recent in-depth interview with Drew Faust, President of Harvard University, we discussed recent developments in teaching and learning, financial aid and accessibility, growing university-wide collaboration, leadership in higher-education, the advancement of women and gender equality, the role of religion in curriculum, bridging research to practice, and the future of the institution.
Rahim Kanani: What are some of the major evolutions of Harvard University in the last decade in terms of learning and teaching?
Drew Faust: First, let’s look at the college and the undergraduate experience. A number of changes have emerged in recent years focusing more attention on the undergraduate experience: for instance, the new general education curriculum requirements that update the foundations of a Harvard college education for the 21st century. We’ve also enhanced student services like advising, because we recognize that Harvard’s extraordinary intellectual resources are complex and that students, to have the full benefit of their time here, need good advice.
