Notable Women Share
Experiences With Students

Three women shared their life stories with a group of Upper School students this week. Part of the Notable Women Lecture Series, the talks focused on "Notable Women Making a Difference in the World." One of the visitors, Annie Warner, is a 1997 OES graduate who is a member of the Leadership Team at the Nike Foundation, a nonprofit organization supported by Nike Inc., and the NoVo Foundation, which is dedicated to investing in adolescent girls as the most positive force for change in the developing world. Also speaking were Maria Kosmetatos, president of the Portland-Mutare Sister City Association, and the Rev. Esme Culver, associate rector of Grace Memorial Episcopal Church. The lecture series is designed to provide female students with role models and potential mentors.
