The Women and Leadership Alliance (WLA) and Claremont McKenna College are excited to launch the Women and Gender Leadership Initiative. This two-part initiative consists of program facilitation and the funding of student proposals focused on student education and engagement around gender and leadership.
Objectives of the Women and Gender Leadership Initiative:
Through the facilitation of Women and Gender Leadership programming and administration of the Women and Gender Leadership Fund, the Women and Gender Leadership Initiative will support student development and awareness by:
• Encouraging all students to think critically and dialogue openly about the role of gender in society
• Developing a thoughtful and inclusive community, including women and people of diverse gender identities and sexual orientations
• Empowering women to embrace leadership roles in diverse settings and to reach their full potential
• Providing professional and leadership development opportunities for students to work on issues of identity and gender
