Levin to visit India
Continuing Yale’s ongoing efforts to strengthen ties with India, University President Richard Levin will leave for India tonight as part of a delegation of faculty, including School of Management Dean Sharon Oster, to speak at two conferences and meet with Indian leaders.
University representatives will participate in the India Higher Education Summit, at which Levin will give the keynote address, and the World Economic Forum India Eonomic Summit, where he will speak as part of a panel on education. Members of the delegation will also speak on environmental and economic issues.
It would not have been inappropriate to mention that Yale's eponym Elihu Yale made his fortune as governor of Madras province with the East India company.
