Increase IND mentorship professional base In progress x Completed No longer applicable Diana Leakas, interior design faculty, continues to establish the mentorship program for the non-residential course for fall semester. Fall 2014, we had 14 mentors; fall 2015, we had 13 mentors. Below are the Recommendations for Action made by the review team. Describe the progress or changes made toward meeting each recommendation over the last year.
