Club Être Brings Women’s History Month Programming to Life!

May 3, 2024 | School Life Highlights

In honor of Women’s History Month, Club Être, our women’s mentorship club, hosted an informative assembly, featuring Être founder and D-E alumna Ilana Post Raia ’86! After the Upper School learned about statistics around women in the workplace, Ilana spoke about how she founded Être, an organization providing high school girls the opportunity to meet with women in high profile careers. She spoke on the importance of mentorship and dreaming big, and students left with sage advice. After the assembly, Illana was available to talk directly with students and sign her book, The Epic Mentor Guide
