Recognition of Women Leaders

Each year, the Women’s Leadership Institute recognizes three Christian women - one student from each of the CUW and CUAA campuses, and one from the community at large - who exhibit exceptional servant leadership and boldly enter and influence in the spaces God has called them to serve.

  • This annual award recognizes two students for their leadership and service on the CUW or CUAA campus and in their community.
