From the Dean of Students
The
Virginia Women's Institute for Leadership builds character and competence.
For four years you live and learn in a demanding environment where honor,
integrity and excellence are governing standards. The program is comprehensive;
all aspects of your experience at Mary Baldwin College are considered opportunities
for learning. Your commitment to the program is a commitment to demand the
best from yourself, to fully use the experiences and resources available
to you and to value and respect the community of which you are a part.
When you leave the Virginia Women's Institute for Leadership, you are skilled
as a leader, prepared as a citizen soldier and inspired to achieve balance
in the way you live as an intellectual, social, physical and spiritual being.
You are determined to attain your goals and to surmount any barriers you
may face. You know yourself well; you appreciate collaboration; you take
pride in your achievements and in the achievements of others. You are part
of a network of women who are dedicated to their families, communities and
careers.
This is not the easy way to get a college education. It is the best way to
make that education count.
