Women's philanthropic leadership circle
WPLC brings together donors who are committed to empowering women in the College of Education and Human Development. The WPLC Fund supports individuals conducting research on issues that disproportionately affect women; developing curricula focused on women in society; promoting efforts to develop female leaders of all ages; and participating in service that helps women and families.
