Building from the work of NYUWomxn100, and in conjunction with the NYU BeTogether efforts, the Office of Global Inclusion, Diversity, and Strategic Innovation embeds and escalates our intersectional, gender-centered strategic action through the NYU Women Lead: A Global Leadership Accelerator. This initiative centers on two initial foci:
- The first university-wide initiative builds on, scales up, and institutionally embeds the work of NYUWomxn100 with a focus on inclusive leadership → NYU Women Lead: A Global Leadership Accelerator and also includes robust alumni engagement.
- The second, which is a part of the first initiative, specifically focuses on Black women’s leadership and archiving the histories of Black women, the Global Black Women Leadership Initiative.
