Athena Center for Leadership at Barnard College - Annual Report - 2019-2020

Page 6

The world is full of vexing challenges. A warming planet, hunger, mis- and disinformation, all of the -isms that keep people from reaching their full potential, just to name a few. These challenges require creative solutions, but it’s easy to feel overwhelmed. What can we do? Where do we even start? At the Athena Center for Leadership, we see leaders as, at their core, problem-solvers — and our role as providing Barnard students with a wide range of ways to practice solving problems at all scales, all experience-based and available to students from day one. Athena is home to Barnard students who see opportunities in challenges and seize them to build a better world, together — because these are the leaders we need now.
