In his remarks, President Gamoran will argue that universities should do more to support research that benefits society by responding to the pressing problems of the day. He will lay out a strategy for institutions to incentivize this type of work by supporting partnerships between researchers and public agencies or private nonprofit organizations.

The lecture will take place from 2:30 to 4:00 p.m. in the Community Room of the International House (across the street from the main UC Davis campus). A reception and light refreshments will follow in the Lounge.
