The Madeleine Korbel Albright Institute for Global Affairs educates young women for positions of leadership.

In January 2010, Wellesley College proudly unveiled the Madeleine Korbel Albright Institute for Global Affairs (the Albright Institute). The Albright Institute educates women to fulfill leadership positions, strengthens the role of women in international relations, and informs policy discussions and academic thought in global affairs.

Integrating the academic resources of Wellesley and the research capabilities of the Wellesley Centers for Women with the insights of global thought leaders, the Albright Institute enhances the academic community of Wellesley, and students take this knowledge into the world.
