Exciting alumnae speakers join us as we proudly host the Annual Zagoren Lecture.
The Zagoren Lecture is presented in honor of the late AADC Executive Director Adelaide Marcus Zagoren ’40 and is free and open to the public. Special thanks to Adelaide’s daughter, Laura Zagoren Baron ’70, for her continued support of the lecture.


The 2023 Douglass Alumnae Zagoren Lecture, “Storytelling for Social Change: Stories of Justice and Joy for a More Just Future,” featured Dr. Cierra Kaler-Jones ’15, pictured, who delivered the virtual lecture during February’s national Black History Month. Dr. Kaler-Jones ‘15 was named to Black Enterprise’s 40 Under 40 list for social impact last year, and recently became Executive Director of Rethinking Schools.
