As we close out 2019, here's a snapshot of what the great team at WPI has been working on the last three semesters. 

This list, of course, represents only the highlights and there is no doubt it’s been an exciting time to be at the center of a national conversation about the importance of having more women in political leadership.

As we approach a presidential election year as well as the centennial commemoration of women’s suffrage, we eagerly anticipate a busy and energetic year ahead.  We are also looking forward to celebrating the 20th anniversary of WPI, founded by Dr. Karen O’Connor, Jonathan N. Helfat Distinguished Professor of Political Science.

Only with your help can we offer more courses, enroll more students, train more young women to run for office, conduct more research, convene more special events, and ensure that women have a seat at all of the tables where the most important decisions are made.

Thanks to you, we’ve accomplished so much this year. Click here for a full overview and please consider supporting our work in 2020 with a $1,000, $500, $250, or $100 tax deductible contribution.

Together, we will change the face of politics!
