Research has shown that women face particular challenges in the work environment.

The purpose of WSLDI is to provide a university-based resource and support system for women professional staff seeking to further their professional skills, including better communication, more collaboration, and the development of trust across university units, helping to create a synergy that promotes the university's best practices. The Program is designed to address women's issues and challenges within the context of the overall leadership curriculum.

Serving the needs of women in a supportive environment, the enrollment is limited to 12 participants per year.

This program is sponsored by the Flora Stone Mather Center for Women and Weatherhead Executive Education.
