Education
Tara Lemmey created DGREE.ORG —an initiative funded by the Lumina Foundation to envision the future of higher education and exploring how technology and innovation can drive new models for student-centered, lifetime learning. In 2010 she hosted the DGREE Summit which brought together the shared thinking of business leaders, venture capitalists, education foundations, and university leaders and accreditors to focus on student-centric learning in a sustainable educational ecosystem.
Lemmey is on the faculty of the Arizona Center for Integrative Medicine at the University of Arizona and collaborates each year with Dr. Andrew Weil and Dr. Victoria Maizes on the Center’s annual public forum. In May 2011, Lemmey moderated the forum “Food and Health: Public Policy and Personal Choice” with Dr. Andrew Weil, Dr. Robert Lustig and Michael Pollan, held in San Francisco. She has also been a visiting lecturer at Stanford, Harvard, MIT, Columbia, and U.C. Berkeley and has been published in Wired, Business Week, and the Harvard Business Review.
