Speakers
Kelly Pearsons
Founder and CEO
Everwell Consulting
The Castleton campus will welcome alumna Kelly Pearsons ’17 as its commencement speaker. Pearsons is the founder and CEO of Everwell Consulting, a Vermont-based firm focused on strengthening leadership and organizational culture through emotional intelligence and well-being.
A graduate of Castleton’s Psychological Science program, with a certificate in Civic Engagement, Pearsons was recognized with the Vermont State Castleton Emerging Leader Award in 2023. She also serves on the Castleton Alumni Board of Directors and is a co-founder of Generation Wise, a nonprofit dedicated to teaching essential life skills to young people.
Pearsons shared, “Castleton played an important role in shaping who I am today, and it’s especially meaningful for me to return at a time like this. My hope for graduates is that they define success in a way that feels true to them, one that includes not only what they achieve, but also how they live, lead, and care for themselves and others along the way.”
