The Women & Politics Institute "Women on Wednesdays" brings our WPI community together with dynamic and thought-provoking women leaders, authors, scholars, journalists, and activists.

Our on-campus events provide students the opportunity to speak in an informal small group setting with women leaders in politics, journalism, and public service.

The Women & Politics Institute regularly co-sponsors events with campus organizations and student groups.
