Boasting a diverse range of prestigious speakers and scintillating discussions, the Marian Miner Cook Athenaeum has long been a mainstay of Claremont McKenna College's intellectual life. Each year, three Ath Fellows are chosen to host the Ath's programs, such that they introduce guests and moderate the Q&A session that follows each talk.

This year is a particularly special one for the Ath, because all three of its Fellows are Rose research assistants! Congratulations to Maya Ghosh ’22, Maya Kurkhill ’23, and María Gutiérrez-Vera ’22 for accepting such honorable positions. Already, all three have proven exceptional at their roles, contributing significantly to the rich discourse that makes the Ath so unique. The Rose community is proud to see and support their leadership!
