Dana Hall School welcomes Dr. Stacy Klein-Gardner as the first speaker in the 2009-10 Wannamaker Lecture Series.

Klein-Gardner will speak to the Dana Hall community on Tuesday, November 3, 2009 at 7 p.m.  This event is open to the public.

Klein-Gardner attended Duke University where she double majored in biomedical and electrical engineering. She then earned her Master's degree at Drexel before completing her Ph.D. in BME at Vanderbilt with a research focus in cardiac MRI.

During her doctoral work, Dr. Klein-Gardner taught high school biology and math at Harpeth Hall, an all-girls school in Nashville, Tenn. She also began writing, field-testing, and training teachers in high school level biomedical engineering curriculum. Klein-Gardner maintains an active research program in developing high school level (BME) curriculum, professional development training for high school teachers, and curriculum development at the undergraduate level.

The Wannamaker Lecture Series, in memory of Lyall Wannamaker Plumb '55, is an endowed fund made possible by the generosity of the members of the Dana Hall Class of 1955, friends, and the Wannamaker family.

This event is open to the public with free admission and will take place in Waldo Auditorium located in the Classroom Building on the Dana Hall campus in Wellesley.  For more information, please call (781) 235-3010, or find us on Facebook at www.facebook.com/DanaHallSchool.
