6th Annual Women/Womxn’s Leadership Institute


The Annual Women/Womxn’s Leadership Institute (WLI) at Florida Atlantic University (FAU) strives to raise awareness on issues Women/Womxn face in leadership, facilitate skill development, and provide networking opportunities for students, staff, and faculty.

The theme for this year's conference is "Voices of the Unheard: Refusing to Be Silenced." In the wake of remote learning, social distancing, and ongoing turmoil, WLI 2021 aims to bring together the voices of women/womxn at FAU and within our community. This year’s institute will offer our students, staff, and faculty the opportunity to express themselves and work together to forge a stronger community through self-advocacy, active listening, allyship, and much more.
