ATHENA Roundtable
The ATHENA initiative—Alumni and Trustees for Higher Education Accountability—is a comprehensive, systematic plan to empower alumni and trustees on behalf of higher education reform.
Since 1996 ACTA has hosted the annual ATHENA Roundtable conference. Invited trustees, former trustees, alumni, and education leaders from around the nation attend an intensive full-day discussion of critical issues facing higher education.
