and women's studies.

Since 2001, the Center for Women's InterCultural Leadership (CWIL) at

engagement to foster the intercultural competence critical for the next
generation of women leaders. This interactive conference will bring
together theorists, scholars, professionals, educators, community
activists, practitioners, and students. Participants will have
opportunities for networking, sharing best practices, and joining a
national conversation about cutting-edge work on:

~thinking in new ways about women's leadership and promoting women as
change agents
~internationalizing and interculturalizing the curriculum and co-curriculum
~building collaborative relationships between colleges and communities
across disciplines
