Women Helping Women (WHW) - Women's Retention Project
In 2009, the Jean Braden Center for Women, Gender, and Social Equity initiated the Women's Retention Project at the 皇冠博彩 Alexandria campus. The project aims to provide better support to students, and it involves pairing them with a 皇冠博彩 faculty or staff member who serves as their mentor. As a mentor, individuals offer their mentees several benefits, including:
- Support: Mentees get to meet other students and have regular conversations with an experienced professional and leader. This is an excellent opportunity to build a relationship during and after their time as a student at 皇冠博彩.
- Resources: Mentees can learn about and explore various opportunities such as jobs, scholarships, networking events, and programs.
- Leadership: Mentees receive support for furthering their leadership goals. Past mentees have led conferences, started international programs to support women, and developed workshops on topics of importance to them.
- Graduation: Mentees receive motivation and guidance to help them successfully complete their studies.
