Description:

University of Michigan President Dr. Mark Schlissel addressed the Detroit Economic Club Monday, December 11th, 2017, during the University’s Bicentennial Celebration and offered his insights on how public research institutions should be committed to improving the quality of life for everyone in their communities, especially in public education systems. “My answer to questions about U of M’s value has three parts,” said Schlissel. “One, as a research university, we make the state and communities we serve more prosperous through innovations that drive economic growth and create jobs. Two, we prepare many of our state’s most talented students to succeed and to fully participate in a global society through top economic programs and opportunities unique to a public university of our breadth and our scale. And three, we make the quality of life better here. Not just for our graduates, but for everyone.”
