Testimonials

"I appreciated the guidance and ability to speak about my education and where I am going and things I need to do to stay on track. His insight and guidance throughout my time being mentored by him allowed me to unload my stresses with school and things I think I [am] not doing well at. He would give extremely helpful advice on how to do and handle situation I may have been in but was very understanding. I feel like I developed a very good personal relationship with [my mentor] and he was always there for me when I need him which is what I was looking for in the program. Anyone who gets him as a mentor is truly lucky." -Anonymous Mentee

"I think the power of mentorship goes beyond the time spent discussing education. As my mentor, you reminded me of the spark inside that was lit as a child watching aircraft overhead. The knowledge that someday, somehow, I would be a part of that world, and to keep pursuing that love despite obstacles, challenges and everything else life has seemingly thrown at me, or I’ve inadvertently thrown myself into." -Emily K.
