Events

Did you sign up for this year's Guru Guidance program? Then get ready to Meet Your Mentor! Join us for an evening of team-building activities so you can get to know your mentor/mentee and start the year off on the right foot!

Participants in this year's Guru Guidance program are invited to Meet Your Mentor! We'll gather as a group to talk about the expectations for involvement in this year's program, then participate in icebreaker and team-building activities so this year's mentor and mentee pairs can get to know one another! 

What you’ll learn:

 As a group, we’ll determine what topics we want to discuss at events throughout the year. Mentors and mentees will also commit to a schedule for meeting one-on-one regularly. Guru Guidance gives valuable returns on your investment of time—the more you put into the program, the more you'll get out. We're excited to get this year's mentors and mentees off to a good start!
