Mission Statement

The purpose of the Harvard-Radcliffe Women's Leadership Project is to foster the effective leadership of a diverse group of women. The Project aims to impact both individuals and organizations at various developmental stages in order to nurture meaningful experiences on campus and beyond. The Project is committed to the following services for women: participating in the personal and professional development of women, providing opportunities and access to critical resources, strengthening the network of supportive and positive role models, and encouraging open discussion about the complex issues and difficult choices that many women face.
Welcome to the Harvard Women's Leadership Project

Applications for the 22nd annual Women's Leadership Conference are due Wednesday, April 8th at midnight. See application below . Applications cannot be sent in via e-mail.

Each fall, the Harvard-Radcliffe Women's Leadership Project organizes a six-day conference aimed at inspiring and helping undergraduate women to develop their skills and strengths as leaders. For twenty years the Conference has brought female Harvard-Radcliffe students together with successful women in academics, business, media, government, public service, health, science, and the arts. These interactive forums facilitate a dialogue that spans generations and serves to inform young women of the joys and challenges that may lie ahead. The Project also intends to provide conference participants with the opportunity to create networks and relationships to support their ambitions for the future.

Today the Project is a powerful symbol of women's achievement on the Harvard College campus. It has spawned a mentoring network for first-year women, a campus magazine devoted to gender issues, and a weekly email compilation of news, events, and fellowships as a service to nearly 1,000 undergraduate women and faculty. For the 35 participants selected to attend the Conference each year, it creates both enduring friendships and a network of peers, administrators, faculty, and local and national leaders committed to the advancement of women. This network is maintained throughout the school year through special events, panels, and receptions. Nearly all of the participants say that the Conference was one of their most amazing experiences at Harvard College and that it left them with a firmer grasp of both the scope and nature of their own leadership.
