Elisabeth Powell

Elisabeth Powell graduated Phi Beta Kappa and with Highest Honors from Princeton University, where she earned First Prize for her Senior Thesis: “Anthropologists in Business: Teaching Anthropology in the Classroom of Everyday Life.” She guest lectured a course at Princeton University based on her independent research, and she is a published author and speaker.
