Center for Women’s Leadership
The Women's Leadership Institute was established in 1998 with a bold vision to help women develop their full potential to be transformational leaders. In 2023, the Women's Leadership Institute was rebranded as the Center for Women's Leadership, becoming part of the newly formed Institute for the Advancement of Women and Children. While the name has changed, our commitment to women's leadership remains steadfast. The Center for Women's Leadership educates, prepares and inspires women and girls to recognize and embrace their own unique strengths and leadership abilities to positively impact their lives and the lives of those around them. The Center for Women's Leadership offers programming for the university and the community that opens minds and inspires conversation and action, including Voices of Leadership, the Summer Leadership Academy for high school girls, and the Leadership Education And Development (LEAD) Program for current Mount Mary University students.

The Center for Women's Leadership endowment is generously supported by Virginia Cornyn '62, and Nancy Cheski '65, to ensure that we are able to continue to offer leadership development to women and girls in perpetuity. The Center for Women's Leadership is grateful for their continuous support.
