Laura Schewel '02 Speaks to Students

Our second Alumni Centennial speaker, Laura Schewel '02, spoke to Upper School assembly and two classes today. She is CEO of the company she founded, Streetlight Data, which analyzes metrics that show how people move around cities.
Laura spoke about her days here at Collegiate, her combination of environmental and literary studies at Yale and how she conceived of her vocation. She advocated for math and science studies, though she was once a reluctant student of both, and encouraged students to be open to endeavors that aren't necessarily their passions.

For more on Laura's views, please read Weldon Bradshaw's interview with her in his Reflections column.
