Gannon Graduate Leaders
Fall 2024
Description
The Gannon Center educates and fosters women leaders to contribute to the development of a more just social order. A key part of this mission is preparing women leaders who will pursue justice for the environment, health, and society. Are you a graduate student who is passionate about these issues?

Graduate students will participate in group meetings and have the option of receiving individualized leadership coaching, which will empower them to:

- Develop skills to complement those strengths.
- Design a personal leadership plan to launch their careers.
