Widener Global Leaders program launches fifth-year recruitment

The award-winning Widener Global Leaders Program is proud to announce an exciting expansion as it enters its fifth year, welcoming Wichita State University students in business, communication, music or fine arts. This strategic growth reflects our continued commitment to developing the next generation of global leaders.

This milestone follows the recent graduation of WGLP’s 2024–2025 cohort, celebrated in a special ceremony this past May. Program highlights included immersive sessions on strengths discovery, strategic communication, business acumen, global mindset, financial literacy, the intersection of music and leadership, along with a private jet experience at Textron Aviation and a wide range of impactful networking opportunities.

“One of my favorite activities was the vision board session, where we got to be creative and reflect on our goals,” said Olivia Wessley, WGLP participant and economics major. “WGLP was an amazing experience. It made me a better leader and opened my eyes to what’s possible for my future.”
