College Match admissions strategist David Montesano discussed student resiliency recently before the World Presidents Organization, in a forum at Stanford University’s Graduate School of Business. Stanford Men’s tennis coach Dick Gould moderated the event; the keynote speaker was Carol S. Dweck, Ph.D.
Dweck, the Lewis and Virginia Eaton Professor of Psychology at Stanford, is one of the world’s leading researchers in the field of motivation. Her research has focused on why certain people succeed and how to foster success through “growth” rather than a “closed” mindset.
