Richard Miller

Richard Miller, the founding president of Olin College, revolutionized engineering education with a focus on hands-on, community-based learning. He discusses the shift from passive classroom environments to a 24/7 learning model that emphasizes problem-solving and design thinking. Miller challenges the status quo by advocating for a more integrated educational approach that fosters creativity and interdisciplinary collaboration, preparing students to tackle real-world challenges and thrive in the innovation economy.
