As the Academic Mentor Program (AMP) transitioned virtual, there were many variables to navigate. With the perseverance and optimism of the mentors, mentees, and staff, AMP has been running smoothly this semester! All mentoring is taking place via zoom allowing mentors and mentees to get individualized tutoring time while having the ability to join back as a whole group for enrichment. We have had great guest speakers to talk to our mentees this semester about various activities and career paths (yoga instructor, a Lawyer, two SHU student nurses) and we look forward to many more next semester. The positive attitudes from everyone involved makes me look forward to going to AMP every day!
