MENTORSHIP
We pledge to ensure that Scholars receive the preparation and guidance needed to build successful and gratifying careers.
A hallmark of our career readiness preparation is mentorship. Our founder and inspiration, Dr. Pressey believed strongly in the power and importance of networking and mentorship opportunities, particularly for people of color. For this reason, beginning in the Sophomore year, Scholars will be paired with mentors who will assist them in making informed career decisions, learning about the value of networking, and securing internships while in school and full- time positions after graduation.
​
​Scholars Will Receive:
​
-
Professional mentor paired with them based on their interests and expertise
-
Individual career counseling sessions
-
Resume, Linkedin, and other professional material reviews and enhancements​
