Center for Women's Leadership
What We Do
The Center for Women's Leadership is responsible for creating and conducting programs that help you develop and strengthen your leadership skills. We oversee three programs:
- LEO (Leadership, Experiences, Opportunity) for Cottey students;
- The College's Leader in Residence program, which brings a woman leader to campus for several days every year to present to classes and small groups, and meet with LEO students, faculty and staff, and;
- The Cottey-Nevada Presidential Leadership Program, an after-school program offered to Nevada High School junior and senior girls. Twelve students are selected based on application and teacher recommendation. This program is funded through community donors.
