EXPOSING OUR STUDENTS TO DYNAMIC ROLE MODELS
Our Speaker Series brings students together with speakers who, according to our mission, can adapt to change and have created lives of deep meaning, dynamic virtue, and transcendent joy. We have put together a diverse group of people from different disciplines who have reached mastery within their fields. After each speaker's presentation, our students ask many thoughtful questions. Our community values this time together, and our speakers become true friends of The East Harlem School.
"I was overjoyed to see new faces of both boys and girls and beyond amazed and impressed by the students' thoughtful and insightful questions. It was no doubt the students of East Harlem inspired our role model and moderator, but they also inspired other students across the country"
Erin B, Program Director of Inspiring Girls USA
