Creating a culture that encourages and empowers aspiring female leaders at Yale.
The Mission of the Women’s Leadership Initiative
The Women’s Leadership Initiative aims to create a campus culture that encourages and empowers aspiring female leaders at Yale. We simultaneously embrace diverse styles of leadership and emphasize the ethic of an assertive woman who finds strength in principle and magnanimity toward others. We seek to achieve our mission by providing a community within which women may support one another’s endeavors; by extending that community to professors, administrators, graduate students, alumnae, and professionals; by presenting speakers who may serve as role models for our members; and by finding ways to cooperate with other institutions on campus so as to facilitate institutional change at Yale. The group does not espouse any particular type of political, ideological, or religious beliefs and, therefore, welcomes members of all backgrounds.
