SUMMARY:The Making of a University President: Celebrating John Schaefer’s Memoir
DESCRIPTION:Join us to celebrate former University of Arizona president 
 John P. Schaefer’s memoir\, A Chance to Make a Difference. Schaefer will 
 present and discuss his work. The event is free and open to the public\, 
 but seating is limited. Please RSVP here. A book signing and reception will 
 take place with books available for purchase. The event is sponsored by The 
 University of Arizona Press and the University Libraries Special 
 Collections.\n\nA Chance to Make a Difference recounts poignant\, 
 eye-opening\, and often humorous stories from childhood to presidency\, 
 revealing the characteristics of an inspiring university leader. John P. 
 Schaefer was only thirty-six years old when he assumed the role of 
 fifteenth president of the University of Arizona in 1971. The son of 
 hardworking German immigrants\, Schaefer grew up in Queens\, New York\, 
 where childhood centered on sports\, academics\, and the great outdoors. 
 Earning a PhD in chemistry in 1958\, Dr. Schaefer’s career skyrocketed 
 through the ranks of academia\, moving him from junior faculty to 
 university president in a mere decade. As president\, he led the University 
 of Arizona through a transformational period of growth and is credited with 
 securing the university’s status as a top-tier research institution.
