Welcome to Stryker Institute
Ronda Stryker and former UNC President Hank Brown happily dedicate Stryker Institute to the University in the Fall of 2001.
The Stryker Institute for Leadership Development was launched at UNC in the Fall of 2001 with the generosity of the Ronda E. Stryker and William D. Johnston Foundation, and with firm support from the University itself. The Institute’s purpose is to advance the leadership development of talented students from under-represented groups of females such as ethnic persons, non-traditional aged students, and individuals with substantial financial need.
The Institute provides students with leadership seminars, an accompanying educational scholarship, opportunities to exercise their emerging leadership skills, and a sustained program of support.
Staff members associated with the Institute believe that students’ potential for leadership can be strengthened by recognizing the talents they already possess and challenging them to build on these talents.
Stryker Scholars!

Summer at Stryker
We are looking forward to the upcoming Summer break here at Stryker, and will be working diligently to bring in the new cohort for the Fall Semester! We would like to commend our graduates for a job well done, we are proud of all 9 of you and we will be looking forward to periodic updates from each of you as you start your careers, enter graduate school, or just plain take a break--you deserve it! Remember that we work with a skeleton staff in June and July, Kenna is off contract, Laura is in during regular hours, and Claire and Sarah will keep part-time Summer hours in order to plan for the Fall. Stop in and say hello if you're staying on campus, and if not--have a wonderful Summer break, and we'll see you in the Fall!
