Educating Women
Leading Change
The Asian Women’s Leadership University College (AWLUC) is a global educational institution dedicated to empowering women to become engaged and socially conscious leaders who will promote cross-cultural understanding, regional development and international cooperation. AWLUC will be the first of its kind: a not-for-profit women’s liberal arts & sciences university in Asia, modelled along the tradition of the prestigious “Seven Sisters” colleges in the United States, which have produced graduates prominent in every field.
A broad-based humanistic curriculum
Asian Women's Leadership University College (AWLUC) students will participate in an innovative curriculum based on a transdisciplinary approach tailored for a regional context and supplemented with effective leadership training.
An international model of women’s leadership, education and social engagement
Leadership development will be emphasized in all aspects of student experience. The curriculum will foster historical and comparative perspectives, critical thinking and problem solving skills in a variety of learning environments, including classroom, residential settings and internships. AWLUC’s diverse student body will exemplify a common spirit of enterprise and social commitment. Together, the alumnae of AWLUC, as the next generation of leaders, will promote positive change at the community, national, regional and global levels.
A regionally-focused approach with a global vision
Countries and companies now realize that national progress and corporate success can be propelled even further through the inclusion and involvement of well-educated and empowered women. AWLUC’s vision is to equip the next generation of women for these roles through unparalleled opportunities for international exposure and practical experience to prepare them for a life of leadership and service. AWLUC will build on central characteristics of an internationally diverse and leadership-oriented liberal arts & sciences institution, including the exploration of multiple fields of study, blended learning, smaller class sizes, global immersion and a residential experience—all in an Asian context.
