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.
