WLI has been a strong thread woven through my professional life at WVU. This network of women leaders sharing expertise, knowledge and support with one another and in our professional circles spans disciplines and campuses, creating a tremendous and inspiring ripple effect across the entire WVU community.

Assistant Vice President for Graduate Education Health Sciences Center

The Women’s Leadership Initiative provided a warm welcome for me after a cross-country move and a change in career focus. The professional development opportunities and other events opened my eyes to the leadership abilities that I already had and the potential that was there to develop. The icing on the cake is made up of the new collaborations, friends and mentors that I have gained through this program.
