About WIL

The Institute of Politics' Women's Initiative in Leadership (WIL) was created to address the interest and importance of female students at Harvard in developing leadership skills. The program strives to explore and understand leadership through seminars and interactive workshops over the course of a semester.


Candidates for the Women's Initiative in Leadership must be currently enrolled at Harvard College. Applications are open to all undergraduate women; however, space is limited. If you are unable to participate this fall, we strongly encourage you to reapply in the spring.

The program will be comprised of an orientation on Friday and Saturday, September 28-29, 2007 and Friday afternoon sessions throughout the fall, tailored to educate and engage the group on leadership. The WIL Program will take place each semester and attendance at a minimum of five sessions and orientation is required in order to receive a certificate of completion.
