About Marshall Women's Leadership Board
The Marshall Women's Leadership Board represents a thriving community of 50 ambitious women from 14 different majors at the University of Southern California in Los Angeles, CA. Founded in 1999, MWLB stands as the oldest organization at USC dedicated to and led by female undergraduates, embodying a commitment to women's empowerment and professional growth that spans more than two decades.
At its core, MWLB operates on three fundamental values: leadership, empowerment, and community. The organization is built on the belief that its members form a second family, supporting each other's professional and personal pursuits throughout their undergraduate experience. This emphasis on authentic connection and mutual support distinguishes MWLB as more than a professional organization—it is a network of diverse female leaders united by shared ambition and commitment to lifting each other up.
The organization's mission centers on shaping young Trojan women into dynamic, confident, and successful business professionals by providing opportunities for personal growth, cultivating valuable relationships, and empowering members to achieve success in their respective fields. Members benefit from both structured professional development and organic social bonding, with programming designed to enhance skills while fostering genuine friendships among like-minded women.
MWLB welcomes female-identifying and non-binary undergraduates from across the Los Angeles campus, regardless of major or background. The organization's inclusive approach has created a vibrant community where members from diverse academic disciplines come together to inspire change, develop leadership skills, and build the confidence needed to navigate their careers with integrity and authenticity. Through mentorship, networking, and shared experiences, MWLB cultivates relationships that extend far beyond graduation.
