Students, faculty, alumni, and friends are invited to join Penn State Law as we welcome our incoming class of mentees and mentors in the Minority Mentor Program at the program's annual kickoff reception. The festivities begin at 7:00 p.m. on Thursday, August 31, in the Regency Ballroom of The Atherton Hotel. Dinner will be served at 7:30 p.m. Kindly register for the event by August 25.
The Minority Mentor Program has attracted additional interest from students, staff, and faculty for its second year in existence and now has over 100 members of the Penn State Law community involved, including 25 faculty and staff members, 36 alumni, and 45 first- and second-year students.
"Penn State’s mentors help create a welcoming and supportive atmosphere for these students to help them overcome any emotional or social challenges they may face on their path to academic success. And this guidance provides an array of benefits to students."
The 2016 kickoff celebration to welcome to mentees and mentors to the Minority Mentor Program is scheduled for Friday, August 26, at the Penn Stater Conference Center Hotel on Penn State's University Park campus. A time and further information will be announced closer to the event.
Penn State Law is launching a new mentoring program for minority students with the help of a matching grant from Penn State's Equal Opportunity Planning Committee. Set to begin with students entering Penn State Law in fall 2015, the Minority Mentor Program aims to provide minority students with an inclusive and welcoming climate by pairing law students with faculty and alumni mentors.
