The Women In Leadership Speaker Series is a quarterly event held in the Norris University Center. A goal of our speakers is to develop a series that will enlighten, stimulate, and empower students. Another goal of the Women in Leadership Speaker Series is to allow Northwestern students to talk about issues affecting women at Northwestern, during their lives after Northwestern, and even in the global arena.

Women In Leadership is also a program that builds connections between women leaders so that women can make a difference in the professional life, personal life and community.

 
Women in Leadership Achievement Award
Do you know a Northwestern undergraduate woman who is an outstanding student and campus leader? If so then nominate her for the Women in Leadership Achievement Award!

Starting this quarter, 4 undergraduate women will be honored for their outstanding work inside and outside the classroom. A student may be nominated by faculty, staff, alumni, or fellow students based on her academic achievement, leadership roles, extra-curricular activities and overall ability to represent Northwestern as a well-rounded and exceptional student.

The deadline to make a nomination is Friday, November 13th.

Once the nominees are chosen, a group of Northwestern staff will review the applications and select the four most outstanding nominees to be honored. Since all the nominees will likely be great candidates, the selection team will narrow them down based on these criteria:

  • GPA
  • Letters of Recommendation (not required, but helpful)
  • Outstanding leadership roles
  • Academic honors
  • Extra-curricular activities
  • Coursework (transcripts may be requested only as a tiebreaker)
