Alumni and Friends Making an Impact

After earning her bachelor of science in education and health sciences, Samantha Gebler Evers ’14 got to work making an impact in the lives of students with learning differences. She’s now the launch principal for the Julie Billiart Schools Network, which provides kindergarten through eighth grade students with learning environments students that address their unique needs and differences.

She is currently working to open a new campus in Brecksville, Ohio, in the summer of 2024, leading the efforts to hire faculty and staff, admit students and complete the location’s chartering. She previously did the same for the network’s location in Westlake, Ohio.

While a student, her favorite place on campus was the Chapel of the Immaculate Conception, and Evers continues to return to campus annually for education interview day. She also speaks to current UD students about Julie Billiart Schools and the work it does. Evers has a motto, remember your why, and she applies it to everything she does, every day.

Evers has truly built a career based on learning, leading and serving.
