Title/topic: Empowering Ambitions: Uniting for Women’s Education, Mentorship, and Equality
Presenter: Dr. Carolyn Colleen Bostrack; Coordinator: Julia Brekke
As a global community, we must support women and girls in achieving their ambitions by
backing education, mentorship programs, and women’s empowerment organizations. Together,
we can break down barriers and challenge systemic discrimination. By nurturing diversity,
inclusion, and a culture of respect for women and girls, we can create a future defined by
universal prosperity and justice.

the insights she has gained about grief from her students, her training, and her days on this

acceptance of and support for other.
