Meet the Mentors! Spring 2020
by Gabrielle Warren
Vanderbilt Women in Business kicks off our Mentorship Program for Spring 2020 very soon! The program is entirely revamped for this semester, pairing aspiring female businesswomen (calling all Vandy ladies!) with mentors in the Nashville community. Through a series of workshops—covering everything from How Do I Write This Professional Email to a Professional and Sound Professional to What on Earth is Snappy Casual and Do These Black Jeans Count—mentees will learn how to navigate networking relationships and develop useful professional skills. Mentees will be able to learn and grow from their mentor throughout the semester and celebrate at the end with a final banquet (catered food included, of course). Before Mentorship begins, we are proud to present:
