Mentor Program
The goal of the mentor program is to support each scholar in their pursuit of academic goals and develop expanded vision and skills for their future profession. Mentoring is a proven pathway for future success in both academic and professional settings.
Our team of mentors is comprised of Board Members and committed volunteers from a range of fields including business, communications, education, technology and non-profit.
All have decades of success and leadership experience in their fields. Scholars are matched with mentors based on common interests such as academic major and career aspiration.
