Welcome to Women's Leadership Initiative at Saint Joseph's University!
Our Mission:
Women's Leadership Initiative (WLI) is a student-run organization at Saint Joseph's University that encourages and empowers woman-identifying students to be leaders wherever they may find themselves. We promote a safe gender-inclusive environment that fosters conversations about feminist issues. The initiative strives to spark growth in woman-identifying students who want to learn more about the professional world and are interested in leadership roles. WLI members have opportunities to plan events, coordinate guest speaker engagements, and attend conferences and workshops that focus on the importance of women in leadership positions.
Students will:
- Practice leadership skills, with an academic focus
- Network with peer and professional leaders on and off campus
- Learn about the importance of women in both the public and private sectors
- Analyze the theoretical, empirical, and practical implications of women’s leadership
- Prepare other woman-identifying students to lead
- Promote gender parity
- Develop a working knowledge of feminist identities
