The 2016 Keynote
Don’t miss the keynote, Finding Nourishment for Advanced Learners in Today’s Educational Desert by Dr. Elaine Tuttle Hansen, the executive director of the Johns Hopkins Center for Talented Youth, who has devoted her career to the education of bright young minds and the pursuit of academic excellence. At CTY, which now offers summer and family academic programming in NYC, in addition to its residential, day, online, and travel programs, Hansen has led initiatives designed to foster the continued growth and evolution of the organization in key areas including access and inclusion, talent identification and development, international advisory services, and public advocacy for the needs of pre-collegiate students with high academic potential. She has promoted a reinvigorated research program devoted both to the basic science that can expand our understanding of advanced learners and the translational work that connects evidence-based studies with practice. Learn more about Dr. Hansen’s achievements and accolades here.
