Hello and welcome back to campus! Please join Mentoring@Purdue (M@P) this month for the Charting New Paths: HBCU to PWI workshop on Wednesday, January 31st from noon-1:00pm in Pfendler Hall room 241! M@P is a mentoring program designed with women and minority graduate students in the College of Agriculture at Purdue University in mind. M@P aims to improve the quality of graduate education through fostering mentoring relationships between graduate students and faculty or staff members in the Agricultural and Life Sciences. Mentoring has played a crucial role in the success of many individuals, especially those that are generally underserved. The M@P program helps students grow professionally, academically, and personally to become successful individuals in their chosen area of study. M@P is designed to meet the mentoring needs of the mentors and mentees in the program through events, group forums, guest speakers, and workshops. As a participant in M@P, you will have numerous opportunities for academic and personal growth, support, encouragement, and assistance. M@P will provide training and guidance to both parties on how to have an effective mentor-mentee relationship. There are over 100 thriving HBCUs in the United States, producing some of the most qualified professionals in all fields and of all races. The transition from a History Black College or University to a Predominately White Institution comes with challenges and benefits. Join us to hear experiences as well as tips and tricks to making the new school feel like home. Join us to hear about the experiences of attending an HBCU before attending a PWI from our distinguish panel including Temitope F. Adeoye, Ph.D. Student in Educational Psychology, James Holly, Jr., Engineering Education Doctoral Candidate, Yujie Huang, Ph.D. Student in Youth Development and Agricultural Education, and Jonathan Weir, Master's Student in Agricultural Economics.
