Women in Leadership
What Kind of Leader Will You Be? The Women in Leadership community connects students who are passionate about leadership, identity, and success. Students in this community will discuss and examine their experiences, achievements and positions as women in higher education and society. Students will benefit from exclusive opportunities to connect with successful women leaders working across a variety of fields. Through experiences, connections, and opportunities to lead, you can expect personal and professional development, and a network of friends and mentors to carry you throughout your time at McMaster and beyond.
Why Join the Women in Leadership Living Learning Community?
Students who are a part of the Women in Leadership Living Learning Community will have the opportunity to:
- Connect with female-identified leaders in the McMaster and Hamilton communities
- Explore what being a leader means
- Learn strategies to build essential career skills
Each Living Learning Community offers a variety of activities and programs that make up key parts of the residence experience. Students can participate in as many or as few LLC events as they would like but the more events you participate in the more opportunities you will have to connect with fellow students and other members of the McMaster community.
Programs & Opportunities
Events for this community include panel discussions with women leaders within the McMaster community, themed social gatherings and workshops, guest speakers, volunteer opportunities, and other events and activities planned by students and staff within the Women in Leadership community.
Mentorships
Residents have access to mentors who can provide academic, career and personal guidance and support. Women in Leadership mentors are recent graduates of McMaster who have lived in or have a connection to Wallingford Hall. Mentors are matched with Mentees based on shared interests, career paths and/or faculty. Mentees and Mentors take part in regular meetings and attend social events throughout the academic year.
