The Women and Leadership Alliance provides limited funding to support projects and activities that advance the study, understanding, and practice of women, gender, and leadership. We welcome proposals from students and faculty for research, programming, professional development and other initiatives that align with the mission of the WLA and contribute to our campus community.
