Gifts to Women's Leadership Council contribute to...
The Stony Brook University Women’s Leadership Council is a mentoring program that pairs outstanding undergraduates with accomplished female friends and alumni of the university. The Council seeks to create personalized mentor and peer networks that will support our student participants and provide them with opportunities and social capital to succeed, enabling them to reach their full potential.
As these impressive students graduate, they become alumni leaders and mentors in their own right, forming their own professional networks and enhancing opportunities for the next generation of Stony Brook students.
Hear what some of our past and present members have to say:
The Women’s Leadership Council has been a consistent and meaningful source of support by unconditionally supporting me through academic and professional opportunities. Beyond tangible support, the council has given mentorship and a sense of community truly invested in the mentees’ success. Through the mentorship the Council has provided me and others, opportunities that have shaped my academic and professional journey started to feel, and eventually became, more attainable. — Current Mentee Malak Makled '26
Being a mentee and now an alumna of the Women’s Leadership Council has surrounded me with fellow mentees who are all ambitious and achievers in their field. I have also been exposed to different off-campus experiences and have built relationships with other mentors who have such a great devotion to Stony Brook University. I am so grateful for my time as an undergraduate mentee and actively work to maintain relationships and build new ones with incoming mentees.— Alumni Mentee and WLC Alumni Executive Board Chair Nylette Lopez ‘21, ‘22
The Women’s Leadership Council has been a completely gratifying experience in my life. It’s a unique privilege to meet such intelligent and inspiring young women and watch them make real progress in achieving their professional aspirations. — Mentor Emerita and generous challenge gift donor Laurie Olson ‘84
