Women's Leadership Program | The George Washington University

THE WOMEN’S LEADERSHIP PROGRAM

The GW Women’s Leadership Program encourages the development of an inclusive, supportive, and collaborative community of student leaders on campus. The program fosters intellectual growth both in and out of the classroom through four distinct disciplinary cohorts. WLP students live together in Somers Hall on the Mount Vernon Campus where shared living supports academic work and students build a strong, vibrant community.

"WLP set me up for success at GW. From day-one, it gave me a foundation of people I could fall back on, that lift one another up and want to see each other succeed."
