Agnes Scott College will start a program that trains students on how to tackle the global issues affecting girls and women by allowing students to meet and learn from female leaders in government, corporations and grassroots organizations.
The Women’s Global Leadership Initiative is supported by a $500,000 gift from alumna Sarah B. Gladden and her husband, Joseph R. Gladden Jr., former chairman of the Agnes Scott board.
Students in the program will work as a team to understand the issues women face at home and abroad, officials said. They will also learn about their own leadership styles and strengths, officials said.
The college will begin offering the certificate next fall.
