Women Empowered Leadership Conference

WE Lead



Because Mississippi State University and its Shackouls Honors College understand the need for women in leadership for our community and nation to grow in the near future, WE Lead offers a unique experience to high school girls in Mississippi and the surrounding region. This intense, hands-on conference promotes young wome

n taking on the role of leader in their communities. WE Lead encourages young women to pursue higher education in the STEM fields and humanities, expand upon entrepreneurship in the business sector, and aspire to be our nation’s next great political leaders. In addition, WE Lead encourages women to become more involved in their communities through service and health and global awareness, while also pursuing a course of study in higher education. WE Lead will be hosting a conference in the summer of 2014 for high school women who are currently sophomore and juniors. The conference will be held on Mississippi State University’s campus in the Shackouls Honors College and Griffis Residence Hall July 14th-18th. It will involve the young women learning necessary communication skills, networking practices, and team building tactics, while also exploring roles of leadership that they can pursue in their futures. Accomplished professional women from various fields including education, medicine, engineering, history, politics, business, and more will be speaking in order to enhance the participants’ learning process. Moreover, the young women will further their experience by participating in a day of service, self-evaluations, and a culminating group project. While at the conference, the young women will build friendships, give back to their communities, and develop fundamental leadership abilities. Furthermore, they will gain the confidence and skills necessary to pursue their dreams. Applications are due by May 1, 2014. They should be mailed to PO Box EH, Mississippi State, MS 39762 or faxed to (662) 325-2522, along with a faxed or mailed copy of the letter of recommendation form and signed liability waiver.

“I’ve come to believe that each of us has a personal calling that’s as unique as a fingerprint – and that the best way to succeed is to discover what you love and then find a way to offer it to others in the form of service, working hard, and also allowing the energy of the universe to lead you.” - Oprah Winfrey
