Get back what you put in…

It is true what they say. You will get out of this program what you put in to it. You will have access to a lot of resources, and it's up to the individual to put in the work.

Challenge yourself…

The Mentoring Program is a commitment to yourself to challenge yourself for the better. It requires a lot of hard work and time commitment that you have to be willing to commit to, but it is the best decision that I have made for myself.

Tools to unlock your full potential…

The mentoring program showed me how I might achieve a career in university communications and taught me important skills to make me a better and more well-rounded employee in any field. It gives mentees the tools they need to unlock their full potential.
