WomenNC United Nations CSW Leadership Training Program

The Office for Institutional Equity and Diversity, the Women’s Center & Women’s and Gender Studies, the Division of Academic and Student Affairs, the Office of Global Engagement as well as College Deans across campus are jointly helping to fund the WomenNC United Nations Commission on the Status of Women (CSW) Leadership Training Program for two selected NC State Students.  This research fellowship opportunity offers a one-of-a-kind opportunity for students to:

• conduct an original research project under the professional mentorship of the RTI Global Gender Center staff,
• formulate policy recommendations based upon their research,
• present their findings to local elected officials to advocate for important community issues,
• share their research with a community audience of 200+ at the Local-to-Global Symposium as well as at the NC State Gender & Equity Research Symposium, and
• attend a week-long trip to New York to attend the United Nations Commission on the Status of Women in March, during which they present their research to a global audience.
