会员

As a member of the Women’s 领导 Council, you’ll join a dynamic group that seeks to celebrate and support women. The council offers an excellent way for women to strengthen and extend their roles as leaders, develop connections with each other, and increase their ties to the college.

Members have the opportunity to participate in:

Developing meaningful internships for students while networking with community members, 女校友 and students
Supporting and encouraging female students as they discover their purpose in life

Responsibilities

Women who accept an invitation to join the WLC agree to participate in at least two meetings or events and to make an annual contribution to Westmont.

“We desire to enrich and empower the lives of female students at Westmont College, inspired by a quote from Sheryl Sandberg’s book Lean In: Women, Work, and the Will to Lead: 领导 is about making others better as a result of your presence and making sure that impact lasts in your absence.
