Smith College Executive Education: building a culture of leadership that pushes beyond boundaries to inspire growth and innovation
In 1980, long before other leadership programs were available to women, Smith College’s first woman president, Jill Ker Conway, founded what is now Smith College Executive Education with the mission of bringing unparalleled women’s leadership programs to women throughout the world.
Since then, Smith Executive Education has continuously grown its educational offerings, helping many women attain the highest positions available in Fortune 500 companies and beyond.
Smith College Executive Education continually expands the educational opportunities we provide to professionals at all career stages.
Long-term partnerships with Fortune 500 companies help us keep our curriculum at the cutting edge of real-world business challenges. And our world-class faculty bring extensive business leadership experience and a strong academic foundation to each program.
The result is a uniquely expert approach to leadership with an emphasis on women and their allies that provides key strategies for building professional, organizational and personal leadership skills.
Program participants engage in interactive learning activities and small group exercises to work through real-life scenarios, and are bolstered by expert lectures on a variety of leadership topics.
