The new coordinator for Saint Mary’s University’s Saint Teresa Leadership & Service Institute for Women plans to make some changes to the program.
Peg Winters, the fourth and newly-appointed coordinator for the program, plans to work on reshaping the freshman seminar to get more female students involved with the institute. She also plans to have the institute host campus activities in which both men and women could participate. Winters wants the Institute to organize special events for the different residence halls on campus.

“I am excited about getting more students involved with the new and upcoming program,” said Winters, who has set a goal of adding 60 students to its current 20-member roll.
Winters, who took over the program from Holly Richard this fall, believes this program will encourage women to participate more actively in leadership roles that help them to develop stronger and more varied educational goals.
The Saint Teresa Institute will also offer a wider variety of classes for young women to take. These classes will promote spiritual growth and will guide students in their social and spiritual interactions.
“I can’t wait for this program to take off,” said Winters.
The Saint Teresa Institute’s brochure defines its members as a “diverse group of young women” committed to improving themselves and to making the most of their talents and abilities.
Students commit one to two hours weekly for events, meetings or service projects.
