DC PLEN is the Douglass College affiliate
of the Public Leadership Education Network, a consortium of women's
colleges working together to prepare women for public leadership. DC
PLEN has many aspects, including workshops, lectures by state and
national women leaders, internships, and national programs. Each
spring, as part of the DC PLEN Spring Forum, three distinguished women
leaders are invited to campus to discuss the inside story of women in
politics. Students also participate in national programs in Washington,
D.C., that focus on women making public policy, including a one-term
internship program and programs over winter and spring breaks. Each
summer, DC PLEN sponsors a summer fellowship program, placing Douglass
students in internships with women in New Jersey state government.
