Fleischhacker Center for Ethical Leadership in Action

In November 2016, the College of Saint Benedict received the largest gift in our history: a $10 million commitment to create the Fleischhacker Center for Ethical Leadership in Action.  

The gift creates a permanent endowment fund, which will fund the operations of the Center, including the support of experiential learning as well as a mentoring program and speaker series. Internships and other experiential learning opportunities will be carefully designed to support the formation of ethical women leaders in a variety of fields from business to medicine to education and beyond.
