DWLA Scholars Fall 2026 Cohort 5

Expanding opportunities for women in business.

Established in the Fall of 2023, The Dashney Women’s Leadership Accelerator (DWLA) is critical to the success of the Broad College of Business in developing global and transformational leaders. Thanks to a game-changing gift from beloved alum, Priya Balasubramaniam, the Broad College launched the Dashney Women’s Leadership Accelerator to provide select undergraduate students with experiential learning opportunities and coaching, preparing these DWLA Scholars to begin their professional lives with the ability and confidence to make an immediate impact.

Priya Balasubramaniam VP of Operations at Apple (MBA ’01) She hopes the DWLA will guide other women students. She said this endeavor is all about “making sure young women are geared up to be intentional and have purpose in what they do, and then taking what they learn and achieve and give it back to society. They can be a force multiplier.” -Priya

*The DWLA is open to all Broad-admitted students who are rising juniors.
