The Alumni Mentoring Program is now in full swing. Many alumni have stepped forward to serve as role models to current U of L students but more are needed to meet the growing demand. The program's goal is to help students meet professionals who can answer career-related questions and provide guidance in the journey from classroom to career. The obvious story from the road this school year was the journey to the Motor City Bowl in Pontiac, Michigan. A lot of us at the university felt like we were running a travel agency for weeks on end.
