The Athena Center for Leadership Studies was established with an ambitious goal – to create at Barnard College a world renowned center dedicated to the advancement of women leaders. Not just any women leaders, but women who are visionary, bold, courageous, resilient and globally aware; women who embrace diversity and are determined to make the world a better place. In less than two years, we have already created a firm foundation for growth.
We are particularly grateful for the financial support that the Center has garnered. Generous gifts from our founding donors as well as the Athena Leadership Council – forty-one women who provide their expertise, time, and financial support to the center – have enabled us to grow quickly. And of course, excellent advice from committed Barnard faculty, students, and from an illustrious Board of Advisors has contributed significantly to our success. With this support we have been able to expand our dedicated staff and employ other consultants, part-time workers, students and volunteers to help with specific projects.
