Why the Harris School? up one level

Why the Harris School?

"We cannot teach leadership, but we can provide the tools and skills that create leadership. We cannot teach imagination, but we can provide the concepts and tools for thinking that give imagination power. We cannot tell students the right answers to complex questions, but we can train them in the discipline of the mind that leads to clear thinking and effective action. We cannot teach political savvy, but we can provide students with the methods of policy planning, formation, and implementations."
– Robert T. Michael, Eliakim Hastings Moore Distinguished Service Professor

At the Harris School, you will find energy and excitement in the classroom, intensity in discussions and debates, and passion of purpose in each member of the community. The unique emphasis on rigorous training, relevant practical experience, and innovative interdisciplinary problem solving offers you the knowledge, support, and confidence to make a difference wherever you go.
