Westover School is delighted to announce that Nicole Graev Lipson will be the Graduation speaker for the Class of 2025

Nicole is the author of the forthcoming memoir-in-essays Mothers and Other Fictional Characters (March 2025), an intimate and riveting exploration that challenges the conventional narratives of womanhood, uncovering deep truths from the fiction woven into our lives.

A passionate advocate for all-girls education, Nicole is a proud graduate of The Chapin School in NYC. She shares, “No community has shaped who I am and my path through the world more than Chapin. I feel so strongly about all-girls education and have much to say on the topics of girlhood and womanhood, so this feels like a wonderful match.”
Nicole holds a BA from Cornell University and an MFA from Emerson College. Her celebrated work has appeared in The Sun, Creative Nonfiction, Fourth Genre, LA Review of Books, The Millions, Nylon, The Washington Post, The Boston Globe, and more. Her writing has been selected for The Best American Essays anthology and shortlisted for a National Magazine Award. We are honored to welcome Nicole Graev Lipson to inspire the Class of 2025 and our community at this year’s Commencement.
