Six current Barnard students were selected to travel to the symposium during their spring break. The day before, they and more than 100 high school students from the area around Johannesburg gathered at the prestigious African Leadership Academy to take part in Barnard’s 2011 Young Women’s Leadership Workshop. The Barnard student representatives led small groups that explored what it means to be a leader in one’s own community; and they initiated discussions and activities that examined ways to become women leaders in Africa and beyond. Read about three of the Barnard student’s experiences:
