Ciera Young Named to 30 Under 30 and 40 Under 40

Ciera Young, Director of Equity and Inclusion, has been named to the Pittsburgh Business Times 30 Under 30 list and Pittsburgh Magazine’s 40 Under 40 list in the same year! At Ellis, Ms. Young is a leader, mentor, and ally to students and families as she promotes a message of inclusion, tolerance, and acceptance.
Her efforts to build awareness and create positive change, on campus and in the community, empower and equip Ellis girls with the tools they need to have respectful dialogue and compassionate conversations in today’s diverse, global world. Focused on embracing diversity and recognizing the beauty of our individual differences, Ms. Young works tirelessly with students, faculty, staff, and local organizations year-round to create programming that aligns with Ellis’ mission.

From talks on how to be a good neighbor in the Lower School to honest exchanges about cultural differences in the Upper School, Ms. Young enriches the Ellis curriculum by teaching students the importance of building bridges, not walls.

Congratulations, Ms. Young!
