Resilient Cities: A Conversation with Judith Rodin Judith Rodin, the first woman to lead an Ivy League institution and the first female president of The Rockefeller Foundation, is known for being a pioneer, innovator, change-maker and global thought leader. Under her presidency, The Rockefeller Foundation invested more than half a billion dollars and leveraged billions more in the creation of urban resilience-building strategies in cities around the globe. She has spent her career examining how universities can be key drivers in building cities that foster both equity and excellence. Rodin will share her insights and ideas on how cities and universities can work together to build a strong and inclusive future in a conversation with Steve Clemons, editor-at-large at The Atlantic.
