“The Mount Mary College Women’s Leadership Institute provides for the holistic development of women as leaders in their profession, faith community and community at large.”

 

Women's Leadership at Mount Mary College

image: cover of the Leadership Model brochure.The Mount Mary College Leadership Initiative, with its emphasis on preparing women to take responsibility for social justice, includes The Women's Leadership Institute, The NEW Leadership™ Wisconsin Program, Leadership for Social Justice Seminar.

Taking responsibility for social justice encompasses the charism of the School Sisters of Notre Dame, the founding vision and mission of Mount Mary College, and the characteristics and skills most needed in leaders of the twenty-first century.

Many women's colleges have leadership programs but the Mount Mary Leadership Model differs from others in that it stresses that leadership skills are integral to full human development and that leadership must serve the needs of the human community. Every Mount Mary student is seen as a potential leader.

How well are women faring within the executive ranks of Wisconsin's top 50 public companies?
