Alum, Elisabeth Cardiello Lecture on Leadership & Entrepreneurship
About Elisabeth
Narrator, nostalgist, native New Yorker and two time TEDx presenter, Elisabeth Cardiello, was likely the only six year old in Brooklyn with her own business cards and since then, has had a history of making magic happen. With her first product on shelves as a teenager, it’s no surprise that her post business school tenure in the finance industry was short lived. Since venturing back into entrepreneurship and starting Caffè Unimatic, a coffee company whose awe inspiring story will give you chills, Elisabeth also realized what she herself had learned over coffee at her family’s breakfast table and how she can pay it forward. She Co-founded Legacy OutLoud, a consultancy created out of a global initiative to instill an unshakable confidence and entrepreneurial spirit in young women and Master Your Mission, an international course for entrepreneurs that reinvents the way they interact with the world. She’s become a transatlantic innovation and leadership consultant, inspiring individuals, corporations and organizations to think differently. She has been featured by TEDx, AMEX, GQ, NBC, NY Media and many others. Raised to live by the phrase “what the mind can conceive, the mind can achieve” and fueled by the power of legacy (and really good coffee) Elisabeth is on a mission to instill that mindset and confidence in the next generation of young leaders and anyone who wants to realize their potential.

Pregnant Women's Mental Health Matters: For Her, and Her Baby
Guest Speaker: Catherine Monk, Ph.D
Dr. Catherine Monk is professor of medical psychology, Department of Psychiatry and OBGYN, at the Women's Program, Columbia University Medical Center, and Research Scientist VI at the New York State Psychiatric Institute. Her research brings together the fields of perinatal psychiatry, developmental psychobiology, and neuroscience.

She is internationally recognized for her contributions to the research model known as Developmental Origins of Health and Disease (DOHaD). Most recently, Dr. Monk has been awarded key roles on a National Institutes of Health project, ECHO (Environmental influences on Children's Health Outcomes). This seven-year, nationwide effort is studying early factors, including prenatal, in children's health outcomes across 50,000 participants. Dr. Monk is a two-time recipient of the prestigious Brain & Behavior Research Foundation Young Investigator Award.
A generous endowment by Dr. Louise Repage Kaufman '75 M'78 H'12 and Dr. Peter Kaufman supports this annual lecture.
