Mentorship Program

The Athena mentoring program is a new initiative to promote the professional growth of women working at the University of Idaho. U of I faculty and staff who are Athena members are eligible to apply to be mentors and mentees.

Although the program is designed for the mentorship of women, men are encouraged to apply for mentor positions. Athena recognizes the importance of the entire University of Idaho community in the promotion of women.

Athena membership is required for the program. Membership dues are only $20 for the year.
