Mentoring Project In Full Swing
The SMCOGA Mentoring Project is in full swing! We took the opportunity to catch up with some of our mentors and mentees participating in the program over dinner. There was plenty of spirited conversation and laughter over the course of the evening.
It is wonderful to see the connection between past and present students, and how the relationship develops when everyone is invested in the program.
Big thanks to SMC staff members, Jessica Beazley and Melanie Lee for their assistance on the night and the amazing catering staff for a delicious meal!
