In partnership with the Writers House, Rutgers University Department of English, the Institute for Women's Leadership piloted Transforming Lives. This project combines filmmaking and interview skills to help our undergraduate Leadership Scholars learn from women leaders who are making a difference in the world.

The purpose of the Transforming Lives project is to inspire and empower women of all ages to make positive change in their own lives, in their communities, in our state, nation, and the world. This educational initiative is a significant opportunity for Rutgers undergraduate students in the IWL Leadership Scholars Certificate Program to learn about leadership from women change makers, and to gain an understanding of the use of media as a vital tool for creating social change in the 21st century.
