Women's Leadership Institute
Our Mission
The Women’s Leadership Institute at Bentley College is part of the Bentley Alliance for Ethics and Social Responsibility. Founded in 2003 with a generous grant from the Patrina Foundation, the Women’s Leadership Institute is designed to promote the advancement of women through all aspects of career transition. The institute accomplishes this within three strategic domains: creating professional
development opportunities that provide participants with practical and effective educational tools for their advancement, hosting educational forums on topics germane to issues women in the professions encounter, and supporting applied research projects that address issues relevant to enhancing women’s
professional aspirations.
The institute relies on the collaborative intellect and experience of faculty members, business executives, and professionals to support its strategic domains. Through these initiatives, the institute advocates for a new generation of effective, diverse, ethically and socially responsible women in the workforce.
