La Salle University
Overview of New Alumni Association Initiative
Consistent with the University’s mission of creating a diverse and inclusive living, learning, and working community, and celebrating the significant milestone of 50 years since La Salle admitted the first full-time female undergraduate day students in Fall 1970, the La Salle Alumni Association has established the Women in Leadership Award.
This annual award will recognize significant contributions of women in the La Salle community. The award will honor leaders who transcend socioeconomic status, those who advocate for the inclusion of women in leadership, and whose imprint is left on the hearts of those whom she leads.
In addition to recognizing the awardee’s leadership contributions, the Alumni Career Committee of the Board will be hosting a professional development conference for female leaders in the La Salle community. The planned program surrounding the celebration will continue to establish La Salle as a resource to drive ongoing professional development of women leaders spanning the lifecycle of their careers and serves as an event to foster great networking opportunities. Stay tuned for further information on the conference to take place in Spring 2021.
