WE BUILD LEADERSHIP COMMUNITY (WBLC)
A-State students in our unique WBLC Step Up, Reach Back program celebrate their unique strengths and build community, leadership, and connection in remarkable ways, including:
Developing meaningful mentoring relationships
Gaining leadership experience through work on innovative service projects
Engaging in a wide array of personal and professional
growth opportunities and
Actively participating in career readiness conferences and networking events. Each A-State student who successfully completes the WBLC Step Up, Reach Back program earns the designation "Leadership Intern," and many Leadership Interns are eligible for scholarships as a result of their involvement. The Center offers opportunities for all A-State students, regardless of academic major, color, sex, sexual orientation, gender identity, race, age, national origin, religion, marital status, veteran status, genetic information, or disability. Founding Director Dr. Kathy White Loyd and an inspiring group of 28 women in the WBLC Founders Circle established the Center at Arkansas State University in 2016. An expanding community of Founder’s Circle members, Center Champions, mentors, sponsors, volunteers, students, friends, and partners have joined us since the 2016 launch.
