Increasingly in the 21st Century, everyone can be a community leader and all people can know the power of their voices.  At the same time, the shifts in our economy and the shrinking world in which we live demand a diversified leadership pool.  The Hypatian Institute addresses the shift in leadership population with uniquely tailored programs for small to mid-size businesses, associations, nonprofits, and professionals seeking competitive advantage, while using proceeds to support community-based enrichment and leadership programs for youth.

College Fellowship

The College Fellowship Program is designed for graduating high school seniors and college freshmen and sophomores.  Students may self-identify for the program or faculty/staff may nominate them.  The Institute’s goal is to develop confidence and enhance skills through a curriculum focused on problem-solving and self-reflection.  In addition, the Fellows receive modest financial support to remove small yet significant barriers to achievement and fully experiencing higher education.

Special Programs and Events

Through seminars, workshop series, special programs, the Hypatian Institute engages with the community and contributes to the cultivation of innovation and everyday leadership across the region.  These programs feature experts and change-makers in the DC Metropolitan area and beyond to challenge and transform the ways we think about and approach challenges and solutions.
