Stockton Women’s Leadership Council Mission

Mission

The Stockton Women’s Leadership Council (SWLC) – a Stockton University Foundation initiative – is dedicated to the empowerment of women and seeks to promote networking among women and the community. The SWLC offers a platform for professionals to build relationships, discuss issues related to women, engage in mentorship opportunities, and explore ways that relevant program events and leadership development opportunities can be supported by enhanced philanthropy. Through the Council’s initiatives, faculty, staff, alumnae, friends and students will create a tradition of female leadership that will have a sustainable impact at Stockton University and across our region.

Key Initiatives

  • Mentoring Stockton female students and recent alumnae
  • Engage successful alumnae and friends who are leaders in their field with Stockton; create program events which will provide personal and professional development for each other and the university.
  • Offer special programs and events on campus and in the community to explore and discuss issues relating to women.
