The upcoming election is shaping up to be one of the most contentious contests in our nation's history. Join your peers, Athena staff, and expert guest commentators to watch the presidential and vice presidential debates and engage in lively conversation. Whether you're an American or not, whether you're a Democrat or Republican - these debates promise to be a unique opportunity to see democracy in action and to hear from guest commentators who will help us break it down and think through what it all means.
Our team has built a robust calendar of events and programs to engage Barnard students from all disciplines and backgrounds. This fall, we'll have our standard slate of skillbuilder workshops, as well as financial fluency programming, and a series of virtual debate-watch events.

“My favorite Athena program is the Athena Challenges. I participated in the design challenge that focused on hunger and food insecurity within college campuses, presenting a solution that my team and I came up with for on-campus hunger in two days to food experts including Chef Tom Colicchio.”

“The Athena Center empowered me to stand up for myself: whether in an interview, on the job, or in my daily interactions, the Athena Center has empowered me to feel capable, intelligent, and deserving of success.”

“The Athena Center has empowered me to take on challenges. To ask for opportunities/platforms to better myself, help the community, and to be candid about vulnerabilities in personal experiences.”
