That was certainly my experience at my alma maters — Ransom Everglades School and Duke University (go, Blue Devils!) — but this phenomenon took on another form entirely when my family and I arrived at Cathedral.” Lainie Suarez Butler was recognized for her work with diversity and inclusion by Bristol Myers Squibb.
