Why a Women’s College?
Study after study confi rms that women’s college students:
• develop measurably higher levels of self-esteem, are more likely to graduate, and have more opportunities for leadership
• report greater satisfaction with their college experience in almost all areas—academically, developmentally, and personally
• are more successful in their careers—holding higher positions, earning more money, and enjoying greater job satisfaction
• represent 33 percent of female board members of Fortune 1000 companies, 30 percent of a recent BusinessWeek list of rising women stars in corporate America, and more than 20 percent of women in Congress

professional growth through workshops, lectures, and real-world experiences with successful women from all walks
