Annual Meeting & Dinner ***Seating Limited!!!***

Join us at the Club's Annual Meeting & Dinner on April 30th to hear honored guest and speaker, Professor Angela Lee Duckworth (AB '92), discuss her theory of "Grit" as a predictor of success.

Leaving a high-flying job in consulting, Angela Lee Duckworth took a job teaching math to seventh graders in a New York public school. She quickly noticed that best students were not always the ones with the highest IQs and that started her thinking about what drives success. Today, she is an associate professor of psychology at the University of Pennsylvania and studies non-IQ competencies, including self-control and grit, which predict success both academically and professionally. She has applied her research to a variety of different groups ranging from West Point cadets to National Spelling Bee contestants. In 2013, she was honored with the prestigious 'Genius Grant' from the John D. and Catherine T. MacArthur Foundation.

Angela received a BA in Neurobiology from Harvard in 1992 and, as a Marshall Scholar, a Masters in Neuroscience from Oxford. She completed her PhD in psychology at the University of Pennsylvania. Prior to her career in research, Angela founded a non-profit summer school for low-income children which won the Better Government Award for the state of Massachusetts and was profiled as a Harvard Kennedy School case study. Angela has also been a McKinsey management consultant and, for five years, a math teacher in the public schools of San Francisco, Philadelphia, and New York City.
