Membership

Membership in Athena is open to all currently employed and retired University of Idaho staff, faculty and administrators, as well as all graduate students employed by the university as Teaching Assistants (TA), Research Assistants (RA), or Graduate Assistants (GA). The board will vote on other graduate students (those unemployed by the university) on a case-by-case basis. Only members whose dues are paid for the current year may vote at any meeting of the organization.

With a focus on networking and education, Athena helps members meet new colleagues, learn about U of I priorities and improve the climate on campus.
