President’s Reading List
These are many books that have impacted the way I view the world and our role as educators. Some authors share perspectives that I had not heard, but that changed me in some important way. I encourage you to continue reading works that offer different views of the world and expose you to knowledge and ideas that might be outside your normal area of study.
- The Innovators, Walter Isaacson
- Thinking, Fast and Slow, Daniel Kahneman + The Undoing Project, Michael Lewis
