Who Attends NCCWSL?

NCCWSL is a conference that brings together a diverse group of young leaders who are involved in various activities on their campuses. They are engaged in student government, academic organizations, social justice clubs, and advocate for political change. One in four attendees are pursuing STEM majors, demonstrating their commitment to breaking barriers in underrepresented fields. Participants also come from diverse disciplines such as business and social sciences. Most attendees are rising juniors or seniors, at a critical stage in their educational journey. NCCWSL provides resources and support to help these young women grow personally and professionally. The conference promotes diversity, justice, equity, and inclusion, and provides a space for emerging leaders to connect and collaborate on initiatives. 

NCCWSL by the numbers

  • Roughly 50% of NCCWSL attendees are women of color. Many are first-generation college students. 
  • 1 in 4 NCCWSL attendees major in the STEM fields, followed by majors in business and the social sciences. 
  • Nearly 500 colleges from 48 states have sent campus leaders to NCCWSL.
