WLA 25th Anniversary

The Women and Leadership Archives was established in 1994 and grew out of the need to care for the records of Mundelein College. Over the past 25 years the WLA has expanded the collecting scope to include papers of women leaders and women’s organizations. Please join us as we celebrate this milestone and look to the next 25 years of collecting and preserving women’s stories.
