2023-24 Cohorts of the Executive Leadership Academy for Women and the Leadership Academy for Women Faculty Celebrate Graduation
Participants in the 2023-24 cohorts of the Executive Leadership Academy for Women (ELAW) and the Leadership Academy for Women Faculty (LAWF) celebrated the completion of their leadership programs this April.
Celebrations took place at Centennial Hall on April 12 for LAWF and April 17 for ELAW, with friends, colleagues and family in attendance for each graduation.
ELAW, for staff, and LAWF, for faculty, are eight-month cohort-based leadership development programs, seeking to empower current and emerging leaders who are committed to self-discovery, lifelong learning, career advancement, and leading from where they are.
Both programs are focused on key leadership competencies in areas such as communication, mentoring, conflict resolution, and work-life balance, among others.
They are administered through the Advancement of Women (AofW) initiative, which developed leadership programming in 2005 that became ELAW in 2012. In 2021, LAWF was created to focus on leadership specifically among faculty members, with ELAW now oriented to staff.
