CCW Mentoring Kickoff

From the January/February Columbia College Today alumni magazine:

Columbia College Women held a Mentoring Program launch reception on November 27 in the President’s Room at Faculty House, with about 100 alumnae and students in attendance. Noreen Whysel ’90, who co-coordinates CCW with Alumni Affairs Assistant Director Stella Miele-Zanedis, welcomed the attendees and explained the evening’s program, which included discussions designed for alumnae and students to interact during dinner. Attendees were seated according to alumnae profession/student professional interest.

The 2007 program has matched more than 100 junior and senior women with mentors, who share with the students professional as well as personal advice. Spring 2008 programs will feature "A Women’s Consortium," partnered with Columbia Athletics and the Center for Career Education, as well as "Women in Business," "Women in Sciences" and "Women in the Arts" workshops plus a social networking event.
