This past Tuesday, October 27th, Marian University students participated in their first class, “Fundamentals in Mentoring”. The University has partnered with USA Funds and Mentoring Women’s Network to have fifty of their female students act as protégées and go through the mentoring program and will be participating in the four-module course to help them grow their networks and continue to leverage their skills towards success.
In the first module, students discussed their aspirations, visions, and goals for their life. “It was inspiring to see these young women start learning the importance of investing in themselves and start thinking intentionally about who they are surrounding themselves with,” Samantha Lawson reflected, the National Program Director and Facilitator of the module, “There was so much inspiration in the room and I was very humbled to be a part of it.”
“I wish I had a program like this when I was at University,” Lawson concludes.
The second module, “Propelling Your Career with Mentors and Sponsors”, is to take place on December 1st at The Exchange. In the interim, students will be using the online software to get matched with mentors across the nation.
