EMPOWER
GUWLI empowers Georgetown University students and alumni through regular on-campus workshops, an annual student-focused conference on women in business, and other networking opportunities. A six-week MBA course, “Developing Women Leaders: Cultivating Your Human and Social Capital,” was born out of Tinsley’s work with the institute. In the course, students explore six human and social capital skills that all business people need—regardless of their gender—to advance in their careers. The class is the only women’s leadership course among top MBA schools that offers a unique blend of rigorous research, concrete and tested prescriptions, networking, and practical advice. The institute also frequently partners with student organizations and professional women’s groups on workshops focused on negotiations, confidence, and leadership; panel discussions; and talks.
