The ODU Women's Initiative Network Mentorship Program was established in 2014 by First Lady Emerita Kate Broderick and former ODU Board of Visitors member Pamela Kirk to provide first-generation female students with additional academic and professional development resources for their continued success.
The program matches female industry professionals with ODU undergraduate female students with emphasis on serving rising juniors and seniors. WIN mentors and mentees are matched according to areas of interest and career pathways. WIN学员主要是第一代少数族裔学生(90%). 大约三分之一的学员是STEM专业的，超过30%的学员符合佩尔资格.
Impact
Connecting young women at ODU with a community of like-minded professional women across industries creates a vibrant and dynamic environment where the power of relationships drives academic success and personal growth.
Mentorship is a powerful proven tool to realizing goals and developing life-long skill sets and relationships that young women can carry with them as they attain their professional and personal goals.
Results
Over 200 WIN student mentees have graduated from Old Dominion University since the program's founding. WIN members are currently mentoring 85 female students, but demand is increasing for mentors. The WIN Mentorship Program is designed to provide mentees with additional resources for their continued success.
我们鼓励潜在的学员 apply on Monarch Groups. 欲了解更多信息，请联系Dionicia Mahler-Rogers博士.D.:
