Women leaders help shape stronger communities. When women have access to education, support, and leadership opportunities, they can make a lasting impact.

Saint Elizabeth University is working to expand those opportunities through the launch of the Sister Francis Raftery Institute for Women’s Leadership. This new initiative is inspired by a legacy of empowering women to grow, lead, and make a difference.

The Saint Elizabeth University Gala will take place on May 1, 2026, at 6:00 PM at The Meadow Wood in Randolph, New Jersey. The evening will also include the Hall of Fame induction and the presentation of the Spirit of Saint Elizabeth Awards, recognizing individuals who reflect the university’s values and impact.

When you attend, you help support programs that prepare the next generation of women leaders. Get tickets here to support women’s leadership programs.
