stories of women who FOLLOWED
THEIR DREAMS and changed the future

We began by collecting the stories of 199 Alumnae and we transformed them into Changed by Women: a multiplatform project that strives to empower women both by sharing their testimonials and by launching the Women Fund to support future female students.

They are Alumnae from various generations who have achieved professional success in a number of fields. They include CEOs, musicians, actresses, journalists, deans, and much more. Thanks to them, we had the chance to explore uniquely inspiring points of view and experiences.
