Program Director Sarah Bodily recently conducted a training session for the Aggies Elevated mentors that included some policy changes, new reporting requirements, and everyone’s favorite activity–role playing.
One mentor attended via Adobe Connect from her home on the East Coast, and all agreed that the information was a valuable addition to their mentor toolkits.
