I had the pleasure last week of meeting Stuart Lord, Dean of the Tucker Foundation and creator of the SEAD Program. He shared with me some of the successes of the SEAD Program. For example, three hundred eight-one sophomores participated in the program last summer! That’s about 1/3 of the class. The SEAD participants come from schools with a 49% college attendance rate, but they attend college at a 76% rate. Keep in mind that they start in the program after their freshman year in high school, a time when only 2 of the 36 participants this year said they thought they would make it to college.

Laura Tyson Li ’85 invites all her classmates to her book launch party. See above for details. In MADAME CHIANG KAI-SHEK: China's Eternal First Lady Laura, a former correspondent for the Financial Times, tells the story of an extraordinary woman who symbolizes America’s long, vexed love affair with China, as well as China’s own struggle to define itself as a world power. Brilliant, charismatic, and glamorous, she was both celebrated as "the world’s greatest living woman" and condemned as a scheming and manipulative "Dragon Lady."
