Centennial Speaker Series: Margot Lee Shetterly

Best-selling author of Hidden Figures: The American Dream and the Untold Story of the Black Women Mathematicians Who Helped Win the Space Race Margot Lee Shetterly and her inspiring work as a writer were the focus of an insightful conversation in UVA’s Old Cabell Hall Auditorium March 26, 2019. A Visiting Scholar to both the Schools of Commerce and Engineering, Shetterly spoke in a candid discussion with fellow alumna Heidi Connal (McIntire ’94), Managing Partner at Vast Sky Leadership, about how her Commerce School background has served her throughout an unpredictable career that led to success in fields beyond her early professional days on Wall Street.
