Voices Leadership Program
|
The VOICES Leadership Program is a year-long leadership development opportunity for undergraduate women grounded in feminist leadership principles. The VOICES Leadership Program is designed to build a community of women leaders committed to social change. The program consists of attendance at a day-long leadership retreat followed by participation in a series of Women's Center programs throughout the year. With the understanding that gender is a social construct and is not always experienced on a binary, we want to welcome all students who believe that this program would be of benefit to them.
Applications due Friday, October 12th
