Monica Streifer '05

A professor of Italian language and literature, Monica currently teaches at Whitman College in Walla Walla, Washington. 

 

Monica enjoys contributing to a school and community that gave her so much when she was a student. She values the teachers who helped her learn and grow. Even today, as she conducts research, she appreciates how their insight and creativity fostered a lifelong love of learning. While a student at Athenian, she consistently felt welcome in all pursuits—choir, soccer, dance, and applied science are just some examples.  One of Monica’s favorite aspects of Athenian is the school's unique and challenging curriculum. As a trustee, she wants to ensure that the board facilitates Athenian's curricular goals and addresses the needs of faculty and students.
