Being Bold in the Alumnae Community

For an Ellis alumna, being bold means harnessing the confidence and values cultivated during your time at Ellis to uplift and empower others. It’s about challenging the status quo, driving meaningful change, and creating opportunities—not just for ourselves, but for those who follow in our footsteps.
A recent highlight of this spirit was the Alumnae Sister Panel at our October Reunion, where alumnae sister pairs gathered to share insights from their careers and personal journeys. This conversation underscored the importance of the bonds formed at Ellis and the ongoing role of the alumnae network in supporting professional and personal growth.

Building on this momentum, we are thrilled to expand the reach and impact of the Ellis Alumnae Alliance. This network inspires collaboration, career development, and mutual support among alumnae, providing more opportunities to connect, share resources, and build relationships that uplift one another in personal and professional endeavors.

A cornerstone of this growth is the launch of the Ellis Alumnae Mentorship Program. By creating mentorship connections between Ellis alumnae, the program will provide guidance, advice, and real-world insights to help the next generation of Ellis alumnae navigate their careers and personal lives. The program builds on the values instilled in us at Ellis, fostering a culture of collaboration over competition, encouraging diversity of thought, and creating pathways for each other to access opportunities we might not have encountered otherwise.

We’re also reigniting a beloved tradition by reintroducing the Judy COHEN Callomon ’54 Internship Program. This initiative connects current students with alumnae and community partners to gain hands-on professional experience, equipping them with the skills and confidence needed for success in their future endeavors.

By supporting these initiatives, the alumnae community is playing a crucial role in building a strong foundation that empowers the next generation of Ellis girls to thrive. Together, let’s continue to be “bold” in the alumnae community—supporting one another, driving positive change, and creating lasting opportunities that reinforce the bonds of sisterhood and solidarity across generations of Ellis Alumnae.
