Background & Purpose of Athena:
Athena is an association supporting the interests of faculty and professional
women at the University of
Idaho. Athena was established
at the University of Idaho in 1987. Joan West,
Professor in Foreign Languages was Athena’s first President. The purpose of Athena is
to:
-
Provide a means for professional
women to become acquainted with each other and to share mutual interests,
activities and concerns, particularly as they relate to academic/administrative
responsibilities.
-
Provide a structure by which
professional women, as a group, can consider issues and make recommendations to
bodies such as the University Administration, the Faculty Council and its
committees, and the Women’s Center.
-
Further the growth and
effectiveness of university women through professional programs.
-
Support the educational efforts of
women through stipends and/or scholarships.
