A Conversation with Daniel Biss, Mayor of Evanston, on The Future of Democracy

The Harvard Club of Chicago invites you to join us for a visit with Mayor Biss, Thursday, November 3.

Mayor Daniel Biss grew up in Bloomington, Indiana and moved to Illinois after completing his Bachelor’s degree at Harvard University and his Ph.D. in mathematics at the Massachusetts Institute of Technology. At the age of 25, he joined the University of Chicago’s mathematics faculty.

It was while teaching, in the early days of the Iraq War, that Daniel was compelled to involve himself in his community. He began to work as an organizer, building support for progressive candidates and ideals. Through that work, as Daniel became more familiar with the critical issues facing his community, he decided he had to do more – and he ran for office.

Daniel and his wife Karin, an Assistant Professor at National Louis University, moved to Evanston in 2006 when Karin began a graduate program at Northwestern. They live with their two children.
