Fellows of Women’s Leadership Initiative exemplify University of Montana innovation

Innovative. Individualized. Humane. These are the words I use when characterizing the University of Montana to global partners. Certainly this is a time of challenge. But what doesn’t change is the fact that the people I am proud to call my colleagues create an environment where students learn and thrive. The Fellows of the Women’s Leadership Initiative http://www.umt.edu/womens-leadership-initiative/ exemplify such innovation.

WLI was created by UM President Royce Engstrom in August 2015 to support campus-wide diversity efforts to build a culture of support–across gender–for women’s recruitment, retention and advancement. WLI uses the cohort model and focuses on intentional career advancement and leadership training to systematically transform the culture of UM. The inaugural cohort of 11 women was chosen for their proven leadership in areas ranging from brain development to student success. Their stories illustrate UM’s vitality.
