5/28/15 — Bethany Ellis ’09, Bay View Academy’s Young Alumna of the Year, recently addressed the Class of 2015 at their commencement with a powerful speech on her experiences living and working abroad. Ellis currently works with the International Justice Mission, an organization that fights against slavery, human trafficking, bonded service, and other forms of oppression. She encouraged Bay View students to, “Be women for others. Be women of moral courage. And never lose sight of your own worth and your own value – for without that you cannot truly see and respect the value in others.”
