The
Advancing (Aggie) Women in Leadership Program (A2WIL)
is a second level leadership development program designed for graduates
(certificate holders) of the Aggie Women in Leadership Program. The A2WIL
Program is intended to foster continual leadership development growth in
students. Students will gain valuable skills and experience and will
return service to the AWIL Program. Students who have completed both the
AWIL and A2WIL
Programs can continue their participation as
A3WILers.
Students in the
A3WIL Program can serve as mentors to
10th-grade girls in Bryan High School or on a Committee. Some
A2WIL
students may also serve as mentors, although the mentors are generally A3WIL
students.
