Raised to Rise: Victoria Rowell ’05H on the Women Who Shape Our Lives

Some stories deserve more than a headline. This one deserves a whole evening.

Please join us for Raised to Rise: Victoria Rowell ’05H on the Women Who Shape Our Lives — a USM Women in Leadership event featuring the acclaimed actress, New York Times bestselling author, and honorary alumna. The event is free and open to everyone.

The evening will begin with a reception and a little swag to remember the day, followed by raffles and a facilitated conversation with Rowell and social worker Linda Webb ’69 ’93G, one of the women who raised Rowell. Together, they’ll trace Rowell’s journey from the foster care system to the American Dream — and honor the women whose guidance made that journey possible. Rowell will close the evening with a book signing for her memoir, The Women Who Raised Me.
