UM President Seth Bodnar will engage Larry Summers, one of the nation’s leading economists and the 71st U.S. secretary of the treasury during the Clinton administration, and Ambassador Max Baucus in a public fireside chat titled “The United States in a New Global Order: An Evening with Larry Summers and Max Baucus.”

Summers served as director of the White House National Economic Council during the Obama administration, as president of Harvard University and as chief economist of the World Bank. Summers’ tenure at the U.S. Treasury coincided with the longest period of sustained economic growth in U.S. history. He is the only treasury secretary in the past half-century to leave office with the national budget in surplus, and he has played a key role in addressing every major financial crisis for the past two decades. Summers is now the President Emeritus and the Charles W. Eliot University Professor at Harvard University, where he became a full professor at age 28 – one of the youngest in Harvard’s recent history.

This fireside chat is free and open to the public.
