“Attending the Women’s Leadership Institute’s Rising Leader Program was a truly empowering experience. It helped me gain clarity around my career goals, a stronger sense of self-worth, improved communication skills, and more confidence.
The program inspired me to lead with authenticity and to uplift other women by encouraging them to recognize and own their value.
I’m grateful for the tools, insights, and support that will continue to guide me as I grow and rise as a leader“
“Women’s leadership isn’t a trade off, it’s a multiplier.“
I [completed] the 8-month Career Development Series and I’m feeling so grateful.
This program stood apart from the other professional development programs I’ve experienced because it gave me the chance to learn directly from women beyond the world of higher education. hearing their stories, challenges, and strategies for leading change broadened my perspective in ways I hadn’t expected.
This series not only strengthened my leadership toolkit but also connected me with a network of inspiring women across diverse industries. I’m excited to carry these lessons forward as I continue growing and pursuing new opportunities”
