Attention Mentees and Mentors!
We will inform you of the Journey you have been enrolled in during early October. At that time, you’ll also be introduced to your Journey Staff Lead and receive your orientation registration link. If you’re unable to attend the orientation session, please notify your Journey Staff Lead as soon as possible.
We look forward to embarking on these journeys together!
