Mentors needed for Purdue leadership program

WEST LAFAYETTE, Ind. -- Purdue University is looking for community leaders to be mentors for students in a leadership program.

The Mauzy Leadership Mentor Program, created in 1990, encourages leadership development among first-year students at Purdue. It pairs the students with community and campus leaders who have been successful in their fields. Past mentors have included politicians, chairmen of community organizations, business leaders and educators.

Mentors and the students participate in monthly workshops on topics such as diversity and leadership development. The workshops also allow time for discussing career goals and socializing.

Those interested in becoming a mentor should contact Suzi Coolbaugh in the Student Activities and Organizations Area of the Office of the Dean of Students at (765) 494-5407 by Nov. 15.
