It was a fantastic experience being a Women in Leadership (WIL) Fellow in the College of Business and Economics as it accelerated my leadership skills and enabled me to work on social cause projects with impact. One of my standout projects included leading the WIL Sustainability Data Summit as a project manager, a four-week data challenge on women in leadership and sustainability. The project brought together students and professionals to find and present data-driven solutions to real-world sustainability problems. Through the program, I was connected with a mentor who helped with my professional growth and development. I also received a chance to attend seminars, where I gained further knowledge of leadership and social entrepreneurship. The WIL program provided a valuable platform to meet industry leaders, apply my skills in a workplace, and project a cause which aligns with my passion for sustainability and societal impact. Allowance: The Fellows will receive an award of $1000
