The mentor–mentee relationship is powerful.
💡 For students, it offers guidance, encouragement, expanded networks, and real-world insights that help shape their growth and leadership.
💼 For mentors, it’s a chance to give back, share their legacy, gain fresh perspectives, and witness firsthand the next generation of leaders in action.
“A mentor is someone who allows you to see the hope inside yourself.” — Oprah Winfrey
