Alongside Dr. Leatra Tate, she and elise co-facilitated a discussion around equity and equality.
To celebrate International Women’s Day, Erie Insurance’s Women’s Affinity Network facilitated a conversation about equity and equality to over 380 women. We not only explored how the two terms are different, but we covered how we as women and allies can show up in our spaces authentically to improve our policies and procedures for women specifically of marginalized communities.
In May of 2022, elise was invited to be the commencement speaker for Slippery Rock University’s (SRU) graduate commencement. In her talk, she encouraged the graduates to use all of the things they’ve learned during their time at SRU to make the world a better place. She reminded them they are capable of anything, especially after pursuing a degree in the midst of a global pandemic.
