The University of Notre Dame Partners with Bisk to Deliver Online Women in Leadership Course

TAMPA, Fla., Aug. 30, 2019 /PRNewswire/ -- The University of Notre Dame's Stayer Center for Executive Education announces a new online Women in Leadership course, offered through its top ranked Mendoza College of Business.

Launching on Sept. 1, the course prepares women to build strategic leadership skills, lead effective change, practice ethical decision making, negotiate and resolve conflict, and build relationships through mentorship and networking. The course is intended for women with a range of professional experience, from first stages of their careers to senior leadership to re-entering the workforce.

"Women in Leadership was designed with a specific focus on topics related to gender diversity and inclusivity that are critical to an organization's success," said Robin Kistler, the director of non-degree programs at the Stayer Center for Executive Education. "It is important for Notre Dame to offer educational opportunities that inspire women to engage in purposeful career development and provide transformational leadership that benefits their organizations and communities."

"We have been working diligently to create a program that provides the resources and dynamic environment where women can learn, grow and impact their organizations in positive ways," said Walter Clements, associate dean of the Stayer Center for Executive Education.

Created by distinguished faculty with working professionals in mind, the four-week course is offered 100% online so that participants can get a world-class business education from one of the top-rated business schools, from anywhere in the world. Three Mendoza faculty members will teach the course: associate teaching professors Amanda McKendree and Angela Logan, and Alice Obermiller, director of Experiential Learning and Leadership Development in Mendoza's Graduate Business Programs.

The Women in Leadership course can be taken on its own or with an online Executive Certificate in Leadership for comprehensive leadership training.

The program is powered by Bisk, a global leader in digital learning that partners with universities to deliver online degree and certificate programs to learners around the world.
