IWL - Sister Nancy Hynes Institute for Women's Leadership

By supporting women’s leadership programs, such as the Sister Nancy Hynes Institute for Women’s Leadership, you are empowering Saint Ben’s students to explore and understand how gender influences leadership. Through research, mentorship, and programs like Women’s History Month, students gain firsthand knowledge, while also strengthening their sense of belonging and agency throughout their undergraduate experience.

Your gift will help us develop high-quality, intentional programs that better serve the student body, including:

• The Sister Nancy Hynes Institute for Women’s Leadership, whose mission is to empower women as local and global leaders by fostering inclusive dialogue, reflective thinking, and values-based leadership that honors women as shapers of our world.
• National speakers and events, like Olympic medalist Ibtihaj Muhammad and last year’s Women’s History Month keynote Blair Imani, who inspire and engage students.
• Leadership development opportunities for students working with the Institute, such as attending conferences and summits focused on women’s empowerment and leadership.

When you make a gift to women’s leadership and mentorship programs, you support the ongoing legacy of Bennies, creating pathways and spaces for future generations of empowered women leaders.
