We focus on the unique needs of women leaders, providing a customized curriculum and hosting professional development, learning and networking opportunities throughout the year. With robust ranks, bold vision and 10 years of history as a guide, WLI is ready to face the challenges of next decade.
As we enter our second decade, WLI will continue to focus on relevant leadership
enhancement opportunities to help members reach their full potential. Through executive
coaching, leadership workshops, networking, capacity building, mentorship and more,
WLI’s work will support WVU’s mission and
Move the Needle to advance and sustain women leaders within higher education.
