A Message from the Director


Effective leadership requires reflection and self-care. The many demands of the semester’s end and the season of celebration can be overwhelming—especially as reported by women. I encourage you to carve out a space for time for reflection as a necessary ‘gift’ to yourself.



Dr. Terri Boyer, Founding Director, Anne Welsh McNulty Institute
