F Grades | Denise Dutton | TEDxUniversityofTulsa

On her way out of the office one night, Denise was struck by the words "My GPA does not define me!" scrawled on a library chalkboard. With this phrase in mind, she considers in what ways does our GPA define us, and how does it get in the way of the real purpose of school - learning. Dr. Denise Dutton serves as an Assistant Provost at The University of Tulsa. She directs the Honors Program, teaching a range of seminars from the Ancient Greeks to the Enlightenment and guiding students as they join the centuries-old conversation about what makes for the well-lived life. She is also the founding director of the Henneke Center for Academic Fulfillment, a campus resource to support TU professors as they experiment with ways to engage and support students in the learning process and ways to share their scholarship with the general public. Dr. Dutton earned her Ph.D. in Politics at Princeton University. She served as Assistant Professor of Political Science at Missouri State University for several years, before returning to her alma mater. She and her husband stay busy chasing after twin toddlers and the family Boxer. This talk was given at a TEDx event using the TED conference format but independently organized by a local community.
