Our SUSI on Women's Leadership focuses on leadership, empowerment and change in an American context, as fundamental to the improved status of individuals, groups and societies—and as such they warrant special attention in this program. Your challenge will be to apply what you learn—especially in relation to women's leadership issues—to your own situation in your home country.
