About this listen

In this episode Morton Schapiro explains how this grandson of Holocaust survivors, and son of a store owner, rose from an average community college student to the president of Williams College, then Northwestern University. One crucial figure: an inspiring professor who recognized his hidden promise. Here Schapiro talks about his love for learning and teaching, the importance of humility in leadership, his best and worst days leading two great schools, how big time athletics can work at top-notch universities, and the lessons he has learned along the way.
