Mentors
We invite alumni to be mentors to the students during the summer. The intent is that the alum be a resource to the student regarding life after college and life in Cleveland. In many cases, the relationship continues beyond the summer experience, thereby keeping the student connected to Cleveland and the alum connected to current life on campus.
