BARNARD LEADERSHIP
INITIATIVE
Since 1889, Barnard College has been dedicated to advancing the roles and position of women in our society.
As women have made great strides in educational achievements, occupational opportunities, political voice, and personal independence, Barnard women have been among the leading advocates of social change.
The Barnard Leadership Initiative (BLI) is an exciting new effort in the College's mission to prepare women to move into positions of leadership and authority in our society. This initiative musters and combines the curricular and co-curricular efforts and resources of the College to help prepare ambitious Barnard women to lead more effectively.
As a program, the Leadership Initiative is unique for its focus on integrating Barnard's rigorous liberal arts curriculum with vibrant experience-oriented co-curricular programming, building upon the enriching experiences of the close-knit Barnard community and the vast educational, cultural and professional opportunities of New York City.
