Our speaker will be Douglas J.

A native of Florissant, Missouri, Mr. Elliott is a proud 1977 graduate of McCluer North High School, where he was the Captain of the McCluer North Scholar Quiz Team.  He graduated magna cum laude from Harvard College in 1981, where he concentrated in Sociology and resided in North House (now Pforzheimer House). He holds an M.A. in Computer Science from Duke University.
