2025 Next Up: Elevation for Millennial Women Leaders
December 10 - December 12, 2025 Atlanta, GA
The Women’s Leadership Institute is the premier professional development program for women who aspire to be senior leaders in higher education.
The Women’s Leadership Institute provides an experience that offers strategies for women to succeed in the higher education profession. Participants include women from facilities and operations, administration, auxiliary services, student affairs, recreation, and libraries who share a passion for the profession and plan to lead with lasting impact.
Middle managers are often at the heart of change, tasked with translating senior executives’ strategies into actionable plans while guiding their teams through implementation. But how do you define your role, and how can you truly make an impact?
