Co-author of "Freakonomics" to give presentation at WSU

New York Times best-selling author Steven Levitt will give a presentation on "Freakonomics" on April 26, 9 a.m., at Wayne State University's Community Arts Auditorium. His address marks the official implementation of WSU's Strategic Action Plan and symbolizes the university's commitment to the thoughtful analysis and evaluation of the challenges facing the city, state and region. The plan also lays out WSU's vision for the next five years, providing a blueprint for enhancing scholarship, teaching, scientific inquiry, and community enrichment. "As the intellectual hub of Southeast Michigan, Wayne State is quickly earning a reputation as a place where important conversations are taking place," said Wayne State University President Irvin D. Reid. "Bringing groundbreaking authors and scholars to campus can change the way we perceive our world, giving us new analytical tools to demystify the incongruities of modern life. It also supports Wayne State's reputation as a marketplace of bold and challenging ideas."
