Empowering Women by Building a Community

You experience life from a unique perspective, and at Heidelberg, we aim to empower women on our campus through a supportive environment of advocates. You’ll be challenged in the classroom to embrace your individual perspective, and you’ll relish in the camaraderie of your teammates, classmates and sorority sisters. Best of all, you’ll be part of a growing family of successful female alumni who are thriving in their respective fields, a connection you’ll maintain long after you graduate.

Engage on Campus

As a woman on Heidelberg’s campus, you won’t be put in a box – you’ll be supported and encouraged as you explore your interests, passions, and new ideas. We understand that every student is multi-faceted and should feel confident and comfortable expressing all aspects of their identity on campus. You are unique, and your education should reflect what it means to be a professional woman.

An Inclusive and Safe Community

Heidelberg welcomes and supports all students regardless of their sex, gender, transgender status, gender identity, or gender expression. Through our actions, such as the creation of a Preferred Name Policy, gender-neutral living options, Center for Survivor Empowerment, and Green Dot bystander training program, we hope to show our understanding of different perspectives, respond to the needs of our students, and prepare all community members for global citizenship by deepening their appreciation for diversity.
