Women’s Leadership Academy

Launched in 2019, Women’s Leadership Academy (WLA) at Loyola University New Orleans, through the Office of Professional and Continuing Studies, connects, educates, and empowers leaders across Southeast Louisiana. Since its inaugural year, more than 250 participants have participated and networked with thought leaders in the region, and developed tools and strategies to achieve their fullest potential personally and professionally.
