Hutchison Students Participating in Bridge Builders Program

8/2/2024

Girls from rising 7th grade to 9th grade attended the Bridge Builders Summer Leadership Conference, which begins a year-long commitment.

Hutchison middle and upper school girls are becoming stronger leaders through the Bridge Builders program. At least 13 students are participating in the Bridge Builders Summer Leadership Conference, which begins a year-long commitment. The program aims to build leaders who can work together across racial, cultural, religious, and economic divides. For many girls, this is their second or third year as part of the program. As our girls spend part of their summer learning how to make a difference, we know they will use their new knowledge and skills to have a positive impact on the Hutchison campus and the Memphis community.

Below are the students participating in the program this summer:

Maria Ahmadian ’28
Cate Chubb ’28
