摘要:

欧林工学院虽然规模小、建校晚,但成就非凡。本访谈从欧林工学院1997年建校、短短20年内取得的非凡成就开始,围绕如何选择“正确的人”、如何实现“学生、学校、家长协同共赢”、如何设想“未来的模样”等三个主题来依次展开。理查德·米勒校长在洞察深邃而又行云流水的“解码”过程中,将欧林“天时、地利、人和”“视真正的学习为激情和勤奋结合”“把团队合作作为秘密武器”“培养心脑全人”“新的教师评价体系”“学生候选人须有5种思维”“欧林无指挥管弦乐队”“MIT在欧林化课程”“登陆火星计划”“类比课程为背包”等秘笈娓娓道来,将“欧林力量”“欧林智慧”“欧林方案”“欧林战略”4幅画卷徐徐展开。

Abstract:

Olin College is small in size and young in age, but extraordinary in achievement. Beginning with the remarkable achievements made in the short period of 20 years since the founding of Olin College of Engineering in 1997, the interview was carried out with a focus on the following three themes: how to choose the right people; how to create synergy among the students, the school and the parents; and how to anticipate the future. In this profound and impressive interview, President Miller attributed Olin’s success to being in the right place at the right time and having the right people. He pointed out the true meaning of learning as joining passion and hard work together, and regarded teamwork as the secret weapon to cultivate learning. At the same time, he stressed his aim to lead Olin students appealing to the “heart” as well as the “head.” President Miller also elaborated on forming the Olin Conductorless Orchestra (OCO), implementing the new faculty assessment system, considering five mindsets in selecting candidates for admission, “Olinizing” the curricula at MIT, embarking on an even grander mission—a “Mars shot,” and analogizing the curriculum to a backpack. After reading this interview, readers can see Olin’s four pillars of success: Olin Strength, Olin Wisdom, Olin Approach and Olin Strategy.

Key words: being in the right place at the right time and having the right people, teamwork, the whole person, Olin Conductorless Orchestra (OCO), “Olinize” the curriculum, a Mars shot, backpack
