THE ATHENA SCHOLARS PROGRAM
Using an innovative, interdisciplinary approach that combines rigorous academic and experiential study, the Athena Scholars' program helps Barnard women prepare to assume positions of leadership at the highest levels of achievement. The program nurtures leaders in all fields of human endeavor. Most importantly, the Athena Center aspires to develop leaders who are:
· Visionary
· Courageous and resilient
· Bold and innovative
· Globally aware and culturally sensitive
· Determined to make the world a better place
Athena leaders embrace diversity and encourage other women to lead.
Through a three-part program that connects leadership theory and action, scholars learn how to take an active role within their own lives and make informed and strategic decisions that reflect their personal and professional aspirations. A student who completes all three of the program components will receive recognition on her transcript indicating her standing as an Athena Leadership Scholar.
