The Institute’s Mission

The Institute for Women’s Leadership and Social Responsibility, established in the fall of 2010, sup-ports Cottey College’s mission to “educate women” so they may realize their full potential as “learn-ers, leaders, and citizens.” Presently, the Institute is a unique instructional, research, and experiential “catalyst” for Cottey College, charged with purposefully advancing baccalaureate programs of study in business administration--management, English, environmental studies, international relations and business, liberal arts, and psychology with interdisciplinary and global perspectives on women’s leadership and social responsibility.

As its mission evolves, the Institute also will serve as Cottey’s external programming entity to provide continuing education to women of all ages and walks of life with opportunities to remain actively engaged as life-long learners, accomplished leaders, and socially-conscious citizens of uncompromising character.

Each event is held on a Tuesday and will begin at 7:00 p.m. in the Missouri Recital Hall of the Haidee and Allen Wild Center for the Arts at Cottey College. The Series is open to the public and FREE of charge. All attendees are welcome to the reception that follows each presentation at approximately 8:15 p.m. in the Center’s Weber Foyer.
