The Program
NEW Leadership
Ohio is a weeklong residential summer institute
where students learn from women in politics
and policymaking, as well as educators in
the field of women and politics. They
participate in hands-on skill building workshops
and discuss their own concepts of leadership.
Joining students at the institute are political
women - public officials, issue advocates,
activists - who serve as Faculty In Residence
(FIRs). The FIRs, who share meals and activities
with the students, are available throughout
the program to provide advice and insights.
Through inspiring connections
with political women who are role models,
participants realize that leadership is
about doing what you and those around you
thought you never could. In the process,
students break down barriers that have traditionally
kept women from political life and develop
a network of current political leaders and
peers who share a commitment to making a
difference through public leadership.
