The Levin Family Dean’s Forum is a celebration of the arts & sciences. Initiated in 1984, it presents leading intellectual figures who exemplify the richness of the liberal arts. It also recognizes outstanding undergraduate and graduate students for their academic achievement and intellectual promise. The Forum is made possible by a generous gift from Stephen A. Levin (C’67) in honor of his sons Eric T. Levin (C’92) and Andrew Levin (C’14).
