Higher Ground: My American Dreams and Nightmares in the Hidden Halls of Academia Katehi Linda
When Linda Katehi was six years old, growing up in war-ravaged Greece, she turned to her mother and said, "I do not want to be poor!" Her mother replied: "Then go to school and be a good student. It was an American Dream, embodied in her appointment in 2009 as chancellor of the University of California, Davis.As a signature proposal, she put forth a visionary plan to share her dream by expanding the university's reach both locally and globally--adding new interdisciplinary research areas and opening the doors to more foreign-born students to make UC Davis a global beacon of education. This is the only thing that can save you."She relentlessly pursued the dream that was born that day, overcoming sexism and xenophobia to graduate college as one of two women in her class and become a highly respected innovator in the male-dominated field of engineering.
