Program updates and call for mentors

This year's program was conducted entirely within a virtual environment.  Nonetheless, the program attracted thirty mentees and mentors.  The pairs were able to meet each other on a variety of digital platforms.  Students came from an array of academic backgrounds and alumni mentors were likewise from a diverse cross-section of industries and professions.

We were thrilled to have been able to engage the services of  Sandra Kahale of OnWord Consulting for our two mentorship program events this year.  Sandra provided excellent facilitation for our opening and closing interactive networking events.  The events were naturally conducted via Zoom. 

Sandra provided us with engaging and interactive exercises and in small break-out rooms, participants were able to reflect on their mentorship journeys -- what was learned and how the experience helped both mentees and mentors in their continued career development.

Woodsworth College is very grateful to have had the program and its events underwritten by the sponsorship of MBNA Mastercard®.  Please take a moment to review the amazing offerings that MBNA provides to U of T alumni.

If you are an alumnus/a and would like to participate in the program as an alumni mentor, please do get in touch with us
