Mount Mentors
Meaningful Relationships, Promising Futures
The Mentors Program, sponsored through the Center for Leadership, pairs dedicated and promising students with successful alumnae/i, trustees, and friends of the College. Through the guidance and example of their mentors, students discover vital connections between their academic studies and the professional world. Each mentor/student pair meets regularly throughout the academic year and maintains frequent contact by phone and email. Students also shadow their mentors in the workplace.
The relationship with a mentor is intended to expand each student’s understanding and appreciation of their own talents, opportunities, and expectations of themselves. Students are often matched with professionals who work outside the student’s field of interest in order to emphasize the transfer-ability and universal nature of the skills necessary for success in any field.
