The University of Saint Louis Tuguegarao (USLT) successfully conducted the Women Leadership Seminar on Empowerment and Education on April 8 and 20, 2026, at the Bulwagang Teodulfo Domingo. The two-session program gathered Louisian women leaders and managers in a meaningful initiative that underscored the vital role of women in shaping inclusive and transformative leadership within the academic community.
Facilitated by the Vice President for Academics, Dr. Luisa B. Aquino, the seminar provided a dynamic platform for reflection, learning, and dialogue. The sessions were designed to strengthen leadership capacities while fostering a deeper appreciation of the unique contributions of women in institutional development.
The sessions centered on self-awareness and leadership identity, guiding participants in recognizing their strengths, values, and leadership styles. Through reflective activities and guided discussions, attendees were encouraged to embrace authenticity and confidence in navigating their roles as leaders. Dr. Aquino emphasized that empowered leadership begins with a clear sense of purpose and the courage to lead with integrity and compassion.
Moreover, the sessions also built on these foundations by focusing on strategic leadership and resilience in the workplace. Participants engaged in collaborative exercises that highlighted effective communication, decision-making, and adaptability in the face of challenges. The discussions also addressed the importance of fostering supportive work environments that uplift and empower fellow women professionals.
As the seminar concluded, participants expressed appreciation for the opportunity to engage in a program that both affirmed their leadership journeys and challenged them to grow further. The initiative stands as a testament to USLT’s commitment to nurturing empowered, resilient, and visionary women leaders who contribute meaningfully to the academic and wider community.
Through programs such as this, the university continues to uphold its mission of developing leaders grounded in excellence, service, and transformative education.
