The Women Who Empower Ambassadors Program

Our Women Who Empower Ambassador program comprises emerging leaders from diverse, global backgrounds who have shown a passion and commitment for magnifying the mission and values of the university’s Women Who Empower initiative.

Ambassadors listen, learn, and connect with one another by sharing their personal and professional journeys. They amplify the voices and stories within the Northeastern community and lead efforts to elevate Women Who Empower.

By coming together, these individuals effect bold, meaningful change within our network, at the university, and around the world—and encourage and inspire others to do the same.

Will Young Voters Show Up to the Polls (Or the Mailbox) This Election?

We hear the same refrain every time election season rolls around–This is going to be the most important election of our lifetime.

Yet for all the gravity Americans say they place on voting, and especially lately with all the talk of the Postal Service, people just don’t seem all that interested in their civic duty.

Voter turnout is often anemic, with the United States ranking far behind Belgium, Denmark, South Korea, and other democracies. About 56 percent of the total U.S voting age population filled out a ballot in 2016.

Among young voters the situation is even more worrisome.
