Convocation: Steven Levitt

"Beyond Freakonomics." University of Chicago Economics Professor Steven Levitt argues that many apparent mysteries of everyday life don't need to be so mysterious. They could be illuminated and made even more fascinating by asking the right questions and drawing connections. His book, "Freakonomics: A Rogue Economist Explores the Hidden Side of Everything," was a New York Times bestseller. Levitt attended St. Paul Academy and Summit School in St. Paul, Minnesota, where he led the quiz bowl team to nationals two years in a row, graduated from Harvard University and received his Ph.D. from MIT. Levitt was chosen as one of Time Magazine's "100 People Who Shape Our World" in 2006.
