Quotes from Students
 

"My career mentor was very friendly and straight to the point. He made arrangements for a tour of the tower and also took me around the base and let me know what everything was. I want to thank the people who make this career mentor program possible."

"The program has allowed me to see the working environment, meet people in the industry, and helped connect my classes. It has also helped provide a focus for future studies and helped me integrate into the system. Thanks!"

"I was so fortunate to be able to spend a day with the nurse in the prison system to observe her duties in her role as a nurse. I would never have been able to have this wonderful opportunity without the career mentor program. I will be sure to spread the word to the rest of the nursing department about all the help the career mentors can offer."

"My career mentor provided great information that will definitely help in my career path. Great career mentor - helpful!"

 
Quotes from Mentors
 

"My student is volunteering for the Insect Department now! Thanks for sending him our way - he is professional, intelligent and a hard worker."

"We have planned to set up a meeting so that I can take my career mentee to meet an independent fashion designer in Kirkwood."

"My career mentee was a welcome addition as a volunteer to our summer school staff. She commented that many of the things professors had told her became much more clear in a day-to-day situation. I look forward to working with other students who might be considering education as a career."

"My career mentee visited the base on Wednesday. We discussed opportunities for careers and toured the air traffic control tower. Thanks for the chance to help a student make an important decision."
