About ATHENA

Advancement Through Healthy Empowerment, Networking, and Awareness (ATHENA) will adapt proven interventions from other institutional ADVANCE programs to improve the professional standing and career opportunities for women STEM faculty at the University of Louisville (UofL). The goal of the ATHENA project is to counter the identified problems through adaptation of interventions from ADVANCE programs that have been shown to be effective. We will adapt these interventions for our STEM faculty, with the goal of working to permanently implement these practices to produce systemic and permanent change throughout the University.
