Elizabeth J Somers Amazing Legacy to GWU
George Washington University, which is located in beautiful Washington D.C., is home to Elizabeth J Somer’s legacy, the Womens Leadership Program. The Womens Leadership Program (WLP) is a year-long program open to female freshmen enrolled at George Washington University, in any academic major program.
The WLP totally integrates each student in it’s leadership program. The female students live together in dormitories at the Mount Vernon Campus with graduate students who are supporters of the program. These graduate students act as mentors, and are examples of female leadership in action.
Students in the WLP also take two courses and a symposium together and attend various events that focus on female leadership in the Arts, Politics, Economics and Science. In 2008, the leadership program sent a delegation of WLP students to the Women As Global Leaders Conference in Dubai.
Students enrolled in the Womens Leadership program at George Washington Univerty have the option of joining the Globalization, Economics and Business cohort, the Science, Health and Medicine cohort, or the Politics cohort, depending on their major. Each cohort gives the members of the leadership program a chance to talk with women who are leaders in their chosen field.
For example, students who are members of the Globalization, Economics and Business cohort (GEB) take micro and macro introductory economics classes together. They have the Economics Professor as their program co-ordinator. Members of the Science, Health and Medicine cohort (SHM) take a general Chemistry class and a writing class together. Students in the Politics cohort take both Introduction to Comparative Politics and International Relations classes together. Students of all programs also take a writing class together.
The best part about the WLP is the chance it gives to female freshmen attending George Washington University a chance to enjoy the vast resourses of the Mount Vernon campus and the surrounding Washington DC area, and all it’s cultural, historical and political resourses. The leadership program is definitely an asset to GWU.
