Congrats to Augusta!

She'll help to continue the legacy of Nigerian American excellence at Harvard, like the family below:

Mrs Ngozi Oknonjo Iweala is a graduate of the prestigious Harvard University and so are her four children - Onyinye, Uzodinma, Ikechukwu and Uchechi.

Mrs Okonjo-Iweala studied Economics at Harvard, graduating magna cum laude with A.B in 1977.  [b]She is a former Managing Director at the World Bank.[/b]
 Her eldest, Onyinye received her Ph.D. in Experimental Pathology from Harvard University in 2008 and graduated Harvard Medical School in 2010. Onyinye is a wife and mother.
 [b]Her son, Uzodinma Iweala received his A.B in English and American literature from Harvard and MD from Colombia University College of Physicians and Surgeons. He is the author of the critically acclaimed novel, Beasts of No Nation (2005).
[/b] Her other son, Ikechukwu Iweala studied social studies at Harvard and graduated in 2005.
Her last child Uchechi graduated from Harvard in 2009 and majored in Economics

WOW.  And yes, all caps are warranted.  The brain power and drive in that family![/quote]

The World Bank was so very lucky to have her.  Incredibly impressive leader and thinker.  [/quote]I did not know this about her family.  The apple certainly didn't fall far from the tree![/quote]

The only non-Harvard grad is Ngozi's husband.  He's a physician in DC.  Imagine how accomplished a family must be when the "underachiever" is a mere doctor who didn't graduate from an Ivy League university.[/quote]
