Alumnae Stories of Success
Each ELAM class has had a unique impact on our program, and each individual has applied what she has learned in different ways. Here, you can read about how the ELAM program contributed to the careers of ELAM alumnae from previous classes and what motivated them to give back.
Thank you to everyone who supported the ELAM program in the last year.
"I believe in ELAM's mission of increasing the representation of women in leadership roles in academic health institutions, which is still very much needed. I have personally gained immensely from my ELAM experience and treasure the community."

"I am committed to giving back to ELAM, because I believe ELAM represents the best of midlife learning: relevant, provided in a safe haven, grounded in modern concepts of adult learning and – most importantly – committed to connecting you to a lifelong circle of supportive peers."
