...example, I learned a lot of calculus, which hasn't proved that useful in my career. But I do remember being confronted at a Time Inc. meeting on digital strategy with the simple question of how many direct two-way links there were in a fully connected network of 50 nodes. It was a long time before any of us could figure out even how to begin figuring it out. Tomorrow's careers are likely to require more knowledge of networks, probabilities, statistics and risk analysis. That's why it would be useful to have the standards-setting body...

But, Kamin says, "I don't think someone is more or less intelligent because they sign up for it." (See pictures...
...creation of a House fellows program, which addresses many of the shortcomings of the current SCR system. In particular, we are excited about the new program’s mandate that its fellows facilitate meaningful interaction within the House community through lectures, discussion dinners, and integration into the larger network of House advising through liaisons with graduate students. Per the committee’s recommendations, we hope to see the College pilot the House fellows program in one or two Houses and, if successful, require all 12 Houses to participate...
