ATHENA
The Collegiate Association of Women in Business initiated a novel mentorship program in Spring 2015, coined ATHENA - Leading with Wisdom and Courage. ATHENA is a mentorship program catering solely to female undergraduates across all majors. As of Fall 2026, there are two tracks for members to join: ATHENA Buddies & ATHENA Plus.
Through ATHENA Buddies, members are paired up to bond over shared interests and form genuine friendships within a welcoming community.
Through ATHENA Plus, members are paired with highly qualified alumni mentors to enhance their professional and academic development.
The ATHENA mentorship programs are exclusively for inducted Women in Business members.
To be able to apply to become an ATHENA Buddy, one must be a prospective member. To be able to apply to become an ATHENA Plus mentee, one must be either a half-year or full-year member.
