“I believe that relationships are cornerstones in the foundation of our personal and professional lives. Mentoring relationships are especially important because they provide opportunities for learning and growth outside the classroom and provide unique perspectives, professional connections, and a wide variety of resources which may not be available otherwise.”

“I believe that mentoring is so important because I would not be where I am today without the support of my mentors. Mentors help guide you and are the extra push that you need to help you reach your goals.”

“Mentoring is an awesome opportunity to inspire others with your own story and letting others know that no matter what a person experiences, those same experiences can be used for greatness in their life. Having a mentor gives someone support and guidance that is needed in life.”

“Mentoring provides an experience for students that they may be missing in their studies. One-on-one support and individualized help empowers students to be autonomous learners and agents of their own change—academically, professionally, and personally.”
