New Grant Helps Launch Graduate Minority Mentoring Program

The Isenberg School’s MBA program has received a grant from the Graduate School to develop a mentoring program for students of color. The Graduate Minority Mentoring Program will enhance opportunities for both the academic and professional development of our students of color. The program will include on- and off-campus events and opportunities for alumni and students to meet. To promote email and telephone conversations among participants, the program is compiling a database of contact information.

Be a part of this exciting program. It’s sure to enhance the Isenberg School experience and to keep alumni connected. To learn how you can participate, contact MBA student Rossy Rodriguez at rjrodrig@som.umass.edu.
