About the Institute for Women’s Leadership

Announced by President Lovell at his fifth annual presidential address in January, the Institute for Women’s Leadership builds upon the university’s historic role as the first co-educational Catholic university in the world beginning in 1909. The creation of the Institute for Women’s Leadership was made possible by a generous $5 million gift from the Thomas J. Rolfs Family Foundation.
