����Ӱ�� Graduate School to host lectures by author Leonard Cassuto

Author, professor and journalist Leonard Cassuto will deliver two public lectures on Tuesday, March 7, at the University of ����Ӱ�� Fairbanks. The ����Ӱ�� Graduate School is hosting the lectures.

Cassuto co-authored "The New PhD: How to Build a Better Graduate Education" with Robert Weisbuch.

• At 3 p.m. in Schaible Auditorium, Cassuto will speak on “Graduate School and Beyond: The Academy and Society.”
• At 7 p.m. in the Murie Building auditorium, he will address “A Cultural History of Toughness.”

Cassuto teaches American literature at Fordham University and writes a column for The Chronicle of Higher Education called “The Graduate Adviser.”

In their book, Cassuto and Weisbuch argue that graduate school should be “student-centered and career-diverse. Grad programs should prepare students for all of the jobs that they can get (not just professorships).” Visit to learn more.

Both lectures are free and open to the public.
