EVENT ANNOUNCEMENT

DATE: 12:30-2 p.m. Friday, Oct. 31, 2014

EVENT: Steven Levitt, the best-selling author of “Freakonomics,” “Superfreakonomics” and the recently published “Think Like a Freak,” will speak at the University of Michigan.

He is co-founder of Spin for Good and an economics professor at the University of Chicago.

The event is free and open to the public, but requires a ticket for entry.

Levitt received his bachelor’s degree from Harvard University in 1989 and his doctorate from MIT in 1994. In 2006, he was named one of Time magazine’s “100 People Who Shape Our World.”

The Gerald R. Ford School of Public Policy had its beginnings in 1914 with the political science department’s launch of a Master of Arts in Municipal Administration—the nation’s first systematic public service training program. Throughout 2014, the school is celebrating and reflecting on the history, evolution and future of one of the world’s premier schools of public policy.
