The Stryker Institute for 领导 Development welcomes students interested in learning more about scholarship eligibility and our program experience, to stop in and meet 和我们的员工. Through the generous gift from our donor, Ronda Stryker, the Stryker Institute has been able to serve and support over 476 scholars at UNC for almost 20 年. Joining the Stryker Institute provides a space for students who identify as women to join a community where all students sharing a common identity can grow and develop together in their awareness of self, understanding that each of our unique identities and experiences shapes the leaders we become.

We encourage you to stop in to hear more about our program experience, the scholarship highlights, and eligibility requirements!

The Stryker Institute is housed in the beautiful Scott-Willcoxon Hall, along with the Center for Women's and Gender Equity, which offers a friendly and warm atmosphere for studying, hanging out and making connections regardless of your status as a scholarship 收件人. Our building offers a functional kitchen, computer lab, resource library, lactation station, all-gender restrooms, and comfortable seating.
