COWL Scholarship Available
As a member of the Illinois General Assembly, I am always inspired by the strong female leaders in our state. I see female leadership in practice as a member of the Conference of Women Legislators of the Illinois General Assembly (COWL). COWL co-sponsors an exciting program for college women who are interested in public service. I hope you will take a look at the program information below. If you have questions, don't hesitate to contact the program coordinator, Kathy Sullivan, at newl@uillinois.edu or 312-996-1727.
