SUMMARY:[FAN] Dream School: Finding the College That's Right for You
DESCRIPTION:Wednesday\, September 3\, 2025\, 7:00 PM CT\, Dream School: Finding the College That’s Right for You\, a FAN webinar featuring Jeff Selingo (FAN ’20\, ’21\, ‘22)\, in conversation with Frank Bruni (FAN ’15). \nREGISTER: www.bit.ly/Selingo25FANWebinar \nBONUS BOOK GIVEAWAY! FAN is giving away copies of Dream School to randomly selected Zoom attendees. Details on the webinar registration page. \nAttending college has long been a rite of passage for millions of teens and a bedrock of the American dream. But that well-worn path has lately taken a wrong turn\, denying admission even to super-achievers and putting intolerable stress on family finances. Now\, in Dream School: Finding the College That’s Right for You\, Jeff Selingo (FAN ’20\, ’21\, ’22) shifts the spotlight from how colleges pick students to how students can better pick colleges. \nWith test-optional policies and grade inflation leveling the playing field for applicants\, getting into prestigious schools has become a kind of lottery. “Plan A” may work out\, but increasingly it isn’t—so Selingo urges families to ditch the “Top 25 or bust” mindset and look beyond the usual suspects. Hidden-gem schools with incredible value and rich opportunities are waiting to be discovered. \nBacked by unparalleled research—and an eye-opening survey of more than 3\,000 parents—Dream School reveals what really matters in a college: strong job prospects after graduation\, hands-on learning experiences\, and a sense of belonging. To help students find their perfect match\, Selingo highlights 75 accessible and affordable colleges that will satisfy those priorities. \nOrganized into three easy-to-digest sections\, Dream School explains why elite college degrees turn out to matter less than you think\, why many parents and students are choosing value over prestige\, and how to make sure the degree really pays off. \nSelingo is a New York Times bestselling author of three books on education and the job market. For more than twenty-five years\, his in-depth reporting and storytelling have provided practical insight about the future of higher education and the workforce to university leaders\, corporate executives\, as well as students and parents. \nSelingo will be in conversation with prominent New York Times journalist Frank Bruni (FAN ’15)\, author of Where You Go Is Not Who You’ll Be\, about the college admissions mania; The Beauty of Dusk; and most recently\, The Age of Grievance. He is the Eugene C. Patterson Professor of the Practice of Journalism and Public Policy at Duke University\, teaching media-oriented classes in the Sanford School of Public Policy. \nThis event is suitable for youth 12+. It will be recorded and available on FAN’s website and YouTube channel.

SUMMARY:[FAN] After the Spike: Population\, Progress and the Case for People Michael Geruso\, Ph.D.
DESCRIPTION:Wednesday\, September 17\, 2025\, 7:00 PM CT\, After the Spike: Population\, Progress\, and the Case for People\, a FAN webinar featuring Michael Geruso\, Ph.D.\, in conversation with Katy Milkman\, Ph.D. \nREGISTER: www.bit.ly/GerusoFANWebinar \nBONUS BOOK GIVEAWAY! FAN is giving away copies of After the Spike to randomly selected Zoom attendees. Details on the webinar registration page. \nMost people on Earth today live in a country where birth rates already are too low to stabilize the population: fewer than two children for every two adults. In After the Spike: Population\, Progress\, and the Case for People\, economists Dean Spears\, Ph.D.\, and Michael Geruso\, Ph.D.\, sound a wakeup call\, explaining why global depopulation is coming\, why it matters\, and what to do now. \nIt would be easy to think that fewer people would be better—better for the planet\, better for the people who remain. This book invites us all to think again. Despite what we may have been told\, depopulation is not the solution we urgently need for environmental challenges like climate change. Nor will it raise living standards by dividing what the world can offer across fewer of us. Spears and Geruso investigate what depopulation would mean for the climate\, for living standards\, for equity\, for progress\, for freedom\, for humanity’s general welfare. And what it would mean if\, instead\, people came together to share the work of caregiving and of building societies where parenting fits better with everything else that people aspire to. \nWith new evidence and sharp insights\, Spears and Geruso make a lively and compelling case for stabilizing the population—without sacrificing our dreams of a greener future or reverting to past gender inequities. They challenge us to see how depopulation threatens social equity and material progress\, and how welcoming it denies the inherent value of every human life. More than an assembly of the most important facts\, After the Spike asks what future we should want for our planet\, for our children\, and for one another. \nGeruso is an economic demographer\, public economist\, and associate professor of economics at the University of Texas at Austin. He served as a senior economist at the White House Council of Economic Advisers\, where he advised on issues of health and demography. He holds bachelor’s degrees in engineering\, political science\, and philosophy\, and earned his Ph.D. in economics from Princeton. \nGeruso will be in conversation with Katy Milkman\, Ph.D.\, the James G. Dinan Professor at The Wharton School of the University of Pennsylvania and the host of Charles Schwab’s popular behavioral economics podcast Choiceology. She is also the co-founder and co-director (with Angela Duckworth\, Ph.D.\, FAN ’12\, ’16) of the Behavior Change for Good Initiative at Penn. \nThis event is suitable for youth 12+. It will be recorded and available on FAN’s website and YouTube channel.

SUMMARY:[FAN] Having It All: What Data Tells Us About Women's Lives and Getting the Most Out of Yours Corinne Low\, Ph.D. Associate Professor of Business Economics and Public Policy at the Wharton School of
DESCRIPTION:Thursday\, September 18\, 2025\, 7:00 PM CT\, Having It All: What Data Tells Us About Women’s Lives and Getting the Most Out of Yours\, a FAN webinar featuring Corinne Low\, Ph.D.\, in conversation with Jessica Calarco\, Ph.D. (FAN ’24) \nREGISTER: www.bit.ly/LowFANWebinar \nBONUS BOOK GIVEAWAY! FAN is giving away copies of Having It All to randomly selected Zoom attendees. Details on the webinar registration page. \nFor women in America today\, the promise of “having it all” is an ever-elusive carrot. Faced with unsustainable demands in every sphere\, we are certainly doing it all but at a steep cost. Research shows that biologically\, culturally\, and economically\, we are on uneven playing ground\, and one that drains us of our happiness. But that same data can empower us to make choices that will reclaim our time\, our energy―and even our joy. \nIn her new book Having It All: What Data Tells Us About Women’s Lives and Getting the Most Out of Yours\, Corinne Low\, Ph.D.\, an associate professor of business economics and public policy at the Wharton School of the University of Pennsylvania\, unpacks the hidden factors that influence women’s decision-making\, and how the unintended consequences of these choices alter the course of our lives. From when and whether to get married and (or) have children to what type of career to pursue\, whether to obtain an advanced degree to where to live\, Low explores questions such as 1) what if there is no optimal time to “have a family” but rather a slew of different considerations at different life stages?; 2) what if we approached decisions around marriage and partnership as rigorously as we would an employment opportunity; and 3) what if we valued our time in dollars and cents\, and structured our lives around choices that give us the greatest return on our investments? \nLow has spoken to and advised firms like Google\, IFM Investors\, Uber\, Activision Blizzard\, and Amazon Web Services\, in addition to teaching in Wharton’s Executive Education programs. Low has given talks to top academic institutions like Harvard University\, Stanford University\, and Oxford\, as well as to the New York Federal Reserve\, Brookings Institution\, and the US Department of Labor\, among others. \nLow will be in conversation with award-winning teacher Jessica Calarco\, Ph.D. (FAN ’24)\, a sociologist and professor at the University of Wisconsin-Madison and the author of the 2024 book Holding it Together: How Women Became America’s Social Safety Net. \nThis event is suitable for youth 12+. It will be recorded and available on FAN’s website and YouTube channel.

SUMMARY:[FAN] Mastery: Why Deeper Learning is Essential in an Age of Distraction Ulrik Juul Christensen\, MD
DESCRIPTION:Thursday\, September 25\, 2025\, 7:00 PM CT\, Mastery: Why Deeper Learning is Essential in an Age of Distraction\, a FAN webinar featuring Ulrik Juul Christensen\, MD\, and Tony Wagner\, Ed.D.\, in conversation with Fernande Raine\, Ph.D. \nREGISTER: Click here to register \nBONUS BOOK GIVEAWAY! FAN is giving away copies of Mastery to randomly selected Zoom attendees. Details on the webinar registration page. \nHow much information is forgotten almost immediately after it is taught? How many students graduate from high school unprepared for careers where lifelong learning is essential to succeed? These problems stem from an educational system that uses time spent in a classroom and the results of standardized\, multiple-choice tests as proxies for actual understanding. In their new book\, Mastery: Why Deeper Learning is Essential in an Age of Distraction\, educators Tony Wagner\, Ed.D.\, and Ulrik Juul Christensen\, MD\, call for a radical new system of learning\, where students progress individually when they demonstrate that they can use what they have learned—no matter how long it takes to get there. This is called mastery learning\, and it is the future of education. \nThis book shows how mastery learning is already being used in the United States and around the world\, from kindergarten to college and in the workplace. Through conversations with teachers\, students\, parents\, policymakers\, and employers\, Wagner and Christensen show how mastery improves motivation and prepares students for productive work\, an engaged civic life\, and personal growth and well-being. They also outline the challenges of adopting mastery learning and how to overcome them. Mastery is an urgent call to action to transform education for all. \nChristensen is a globally recognized authority in learning technology\, and a co-founder of Area9 Group\, a leader in personalized and adaptive learning. His current focus is on Area9 Lyceum\, which has integrated the group’s educational investments and technologies to develop the fourth-generation adaptive learning platform and to pioneer four-dimensional education. \nWagner currently serves as a Senior Research Fellow at the Learning Policy Institute. He was the founder and co-director\, for more than a decade\, of the Change Leadership Group at the Harvard Graduate School of Education. He is the author of eight books\, including the international bestseller The Global Achievement Gap. \nChristensen and Wagner will be in conversation with Fernande Raine\, Ph.D.\, a historian\, serial entrepreneur\, and Founder and Co-Lead of History Co:Lab. \nThis event is suitable for youth 12+. It will be recorded and available on FAN’s website and YouTube channel.
