The Purdue Women in Leadership Institute (WLI) is a dynamic one-day conference that exists to develop the leadership capacity of women and to expose participants to the issue affecting women that need leadership.
Students who attend the Women in Leadership Institute will have the opportunity to hear from an inspiring keynote speaker, attend intensive workshops, breakout sessions, panels and network with fellow students, administrators and community leaders.
WLI aims to inspire those who attend to contribute to a global society in which women are equal, active leaders and citizens. By providing participants with the knowledge, skills and ability to affect change, we hope to create a better campus, a better community, a better world. A world in which PURDUE WOMEN LEAD.
