Susan Hockfield approached her presidency as a time to focus MIT’s strengths on a range of important problems, from clean energy to advanced manufacturing, and to seize opportunities for progress, from the convergence of the life sciences with the engineering and physical sciences, to cultivating new global connections.
She also worked to shape the future of MIT itself – as a community enriched by its diversity, on a campus revitalized by the MIT 2030 vision and focused on preparing leaders to invent the future.
