Welcome to the Gannon Center for Women and Leadership
The Gannon Center for Women and Leadership, a University Center of Excellence, joins the University in its mission of transformative education with a particular perspective of developing women leaders. Through research, programs, and service, we prepare students to lead in every sector of society; we promote innovative and interdisciplinary research that shapes leadership for the 21st Century; we advance dialogue on compelling issues; and we build a network that supports women in the practice of leadership. We welcome all who are interested in and committed to the Center’s mission, regardless of their gender identity or sex.
