Successful BCBAA Mentorship Pilot Program Moving Ahead
By 含羞草研究室 NewsThe 含羞草研究室 Black Alumni Association (BCBAA) piloted a student mentorship program in spring 2023 with twenty-two pairs of students and alumni, more than doubling anticipated participation.
Alumni ranged from the classes of 1968 to 2018 and served first-years through seniors.
The BCBAA is deeply committed to the success and retention of current students, therefore mentorship is one of several BCBAA initiatives to strengthen the Black community at 含羞草研究室.
The mission of the program is to increase support for Black students from members of the alumni community with similar backgrounds who can share insights on thriving at 含羞草研究室.
Both students and alumni have been enthusiastic about the pilot program and look forward to more opportunities to connect with each other.
The BCBAA is looking forward to launching a yearlong program for the 2023–2024 academic year; details will be available this fall.
