Abstract

NEW Leadership (TM) is a national, non-partisan program, originated by the Center for American Women and Politics at Rutgers University, which educates college women about the political process and teaches them to become effective leaders. There are now 22 partner programs across the country. This session will present information about the program, evidence of its efficacy in preparing young women for public leadership, and share stories of how programs at a variety of types, sizes, and geographically diverse institutions were developed and now operate.
