WIL's Mission

Women in Leadership (WIL) is a student organization serving the undergraduate and graduate students at the Schulich School of Business. WIL’s mission is to empower Schulich’s female students to thrive in leadership roles in the workplace and beyond. 

We do this by creating a network of business students, alumni, and businesswomen to inspire and support one another.

WIL serves its members by providing a series of professional, educational and networking events, including our annual Inspire to Aspire Conference.  These events aim to enhance the understanding and appreciation of women's role in business, while assisting members to reach success in their chosen field. WIL aims to serve the larger community by partnering with high schools in the area to provide a forum for inspiring and motivating young girls to pursue academic excellence, their dreams and leadership opportunities.
