Quote of the Week

“The increasing relevance of women’s education is apparent in what we’re learning about leadership. Women have a style that is more collaborative, more willing to challenge problems, to take calculated risk, and challenge rules they believe are not just. That means what women’s colleges do now is focus more specifically on the learning environment and the unique opportunities to engage students in leadership roles.”

– Jo Allen, president of Meredith College in Raleigh, North Carolina (American Baptist Press, 8-10-11)
