Newcomb Institute’s mission is to develop leaders and discover solutions to intractable gender problems.
The NEW Leadership™ program offers students an opportunity to develop the skills necessary to become effective political actors and establish networks with like-minded peers and successful women in politics. During the four-day summer program, students learn from educators in the field of women and politics, are mentored by women leaders with a variety of roles in politics and policymaking, and participate in skill-building workshops and workshops on public speaking, networking, and developing your unique leadership style. NEW Leadership™ encourages participants to embrace their own leadership abilities and to consider politics and the public sector as they plan their careers.
“In 2020, Louisiana will have the most women serving in our legislature in the state’s history—26. Despite this record, we are consistently in the bottom 10 states for women’s representation. By bringing NEW Leadership to Louisiana, Tulane University will be training the next generation of our state’s leaders and bringing new voices to the table.”
-Anna Mitchell Mahoney, Ph.D., Administrative Assistant Professor of Women’s Political Leadership, Newcomb Institute
