Behind every successful person, there is
one elementary truth: somewhere,
somehow, someone cared about theirgrowth and development. This person was
their mentor.

The Commitment
Ideally, this commitment will last until graduation of the
mentee.
Communication should be ongoing, with a hope that
contact will be made at least once every two months
(this will of course vary depending on the schedules and
needs of both parties).
Attendance is desired at future mentorship programevents such as this one.
