Grand Opening Postponed
Due to concerns over the spread of the novel coronavirus (COVID-19), Texas Woman’s University is postponing the dedication and grand opening of the Jane Nelson Institute for Women’s leadership scheduled for April 2, 2020.
Fearless Leaders Built Here
The Jane Nelson Institute for Women’s Leadership at Texas Woman’s University is dedicated to preparing more women to take on successful roles in business and public service. Through the institute’s three specialized centers—Center for Student Leadership, Center for Women Entrepreneurs and Center for Women in Politics & Public Policy—we ensure women have the education to establish careers as successful C-suite executives, the skills for building entrepreneurial businesses and the framework needed to run for public office.
The institute and its centers provide multiple platforms for women to advance their leadership skills and experience through education, mentoring and networking.
