DESCRIPTION
The first ever Women’s Leadership Intensive (WLI) is a pilot leadership program for women identified [*] students. The inaugural year will include knowledge sharing, strategizing, skill building and mentorship in a supportive and rejuvenating environment. The goal is to provide a space for sharpening leadership and program management skills, developing multicultural competency in a diverse collegiate environment, identify the impact various oppressions have on leadership styles, and how to make connections with women leaders in the academy. WLI aims to develop practical strategies to address day-to-day challenges and increased confidence and self-esteem among women leaders.

We invite women identified [*] students of all ages, abilities, socio-economic and citizenship status, sexualities, religions, and cultural backgrounds to participate. [*] “women identified”: those who experience life through the lens of woman in body, spirit, identity past, present, future and fluid (UC Berkeley Gender Equity Resource Center)

This inaugural year, we aim to have a majority of participants represented from UC Berkeley. However, we have designated a few spots for non-UCB students. The price of attendance for non-UCB students is $200 (covers 5-day WLI, 2 meals, materials and does not include travel or housing).  All non-UCB attendees must be sponsored through a campus unit (e.g. Women's Student Organization, Women's Center, Student Development Office, Gender and Women's Studies Department, etc.). If selected, non-UCB attendees can pay out of pocket or secure funding from your campus sponsor.
