Issue 46 February 2016

By Selene Hur, Director, Mentorship

There are currently 19 mentor-mentoree matches in the program. The portfolio just transitioned to me in December so I’ll be getting in touch with each participant to introduce myself and to check on the status of the mentorship match (some may be coming up to the end of their 1-year commitment). At the moment, there are 2 mentorees that need to be matched and 1 person who has expressed interest in becoming a mentor.
