At the annual Academic Council meeting, which will be held today at 3:30 p.m. in the Jen Hsun Huang Engineering Center, President John Hennessy plans to discuss Stanford’s proposal for a campus in New York City.

The proposal, submitted in March, delineates plans for a high-technology institution that will be constructed in phases over the next 25 years. The potential New York campus will offer graduate degrees in engineering, computer science and business.

Attendees at today’s hour-long meeting will also hear from School of Engineering Dean Jim Plummer, Department of Computer Science Chair Jennifer Widom and Robert Reidy, vice president for Land, Buildings and Real Estate.

The meeting will be hosted in the NVIDIA Auditorium, which is in the lower level of the Huang Center.
