While working on her doctorate, in 1966, Challenor did work as an “interpreter escort” for women visiting from African locations for the Women's African Committee of the Africa-American Institute.[30] From 1969-1972, she served as an Assistant Professor at the City University of New York, Brooklyn College Department of Political Science during which time she was also a Fellow at Adlai Stevenson Institute of International Affairs in Chicago (1970-1971).

In 1972, Dr. Challenor's work shifted to Washington, D.C. She served as an American Political Science Studies Association Congressional Fellow, working for Congressman Charles Diggs, Jr of Michigan. The same year, presidential nominee Senator George McGovern selected a panel of foreign policy advisors, including Challenor.

The following year (1973), Challenor went to work for the Ford Foundation, as its Program Officer for Diversity Education and Research, where she stayed for two years. Her next post, as the Staff Director for Subcommittee on Africa of Committee on International Relations at US House of Representatives, lasted from 1975-1978.

In 1978, Challenor became the Senior Liaison Officer of United Nations' Organization for Education, Science, Culture (UNESCO) and Communications Liaison Office in Washington, D.C., and in 1983 she became UNESCO's Director of Washington office, a position she held until 1993.[12]

Clark Atlanta University established its School of International Relations in 1993, and Dr. Challenor accepted the role of dean of the school. While there, she helped use a $3 million grant from the W.K. Kellogg Foundation to "internationalize" the school.[31] During her tenure at CAU, President Bill Clinton appointed Challenor to the National Security Education Board (NSEB)[32][33] of the National Security Education Program, where she helps determine the skills national security employees should possess[34]. She served two terms, starting in 1994 and 1999.

Dr. Challenor's final professional positions were with United States Agency for International Development (USAID), first as administrator Constance Berry Newman's Special Assistant, and then -- from 2004 to 2006 -- as the Director of Democracy and Governance Programs at the USAID Mission in Conakry, Guinea.[35]
