The Institute for Civic Leadership (ICL), is an intensive one-semester program for college women, designed to advance the civic leadership capacities and commitments of women and to promote the civic and democratic purposes of higher education. ICL attracts women from colleges across the country to participate in a supportive learning environment that is both intellectually rigorous and practically relevant. During the ICL semester, students examine the intellectual foundations of civic life and democracy in a diverse and multicultural context. Through internships, workshops, lecture series, and mentoring relationships, ICL students also develop the strategies and concrete skills needed for civic engagement and civic leadership. ICL’s program takes place each fall semester.
