Remember your college days dreaming big dreams, anxious about your grades, fearful about your future until one day, you find yourself in a different place, at a different stage of life doing very different things than you could ever imagine as a student?
“Where Are They Now?” Is a special co-production between One in a Billion and WHRB (Harvard Radio Broadcasting).
It is a 6-part series featuring one-on-one interviews with Harvard graduates who draw lessons from their campus experience and personal insight from their current career to give you a taste of their trailblazing journey.
In episode #1 – We interview Dr. Angela Duckworth – Harvard Class of 1992, Founder/CEO of the nonprofit Character Lab, author of the New York Times Bestseller “Grit,” and the Rosa Lee and Egbert Chang Professor of Psychology at the University of Pennsylvania.
Prof. Duckworth talks about goal-setting, risk-taking, and a “rebellious” detour from her father’s expectations.
I am happy to be co-hosting this Special Series with Harvard student journalist Gemma Schneider (Class ’23).
“Where Are They Now” is sponsored exclusively by One in a Billion Productions Inc. (501c3) – an educational media company designed to foster Asian voices. We believe in the power of personal storytelling to reach a wider and diverse community of audiences for better intercultural understanding.
Angela and her parents during her time in high school.
Angela today as a psychologist, author, nonprofit founder, and professor.
