How to Find My Support System and Encouragement during COVID and Beyond

WIF’s first mentoring event for undergraduate and graduate school women was a collaboration between the L³ Alliance and the American University of Paris held via Zoom on March 10, 2021.  This evening of reflection and learning began with opening remarks by AUP President, Dr. Celeste M. Schenck, and WIF Founder and CEO, Dr. Monique Y. Wells.

Both attended the event.

AUP senior A’mari Bing-way moderated the event, welcoming panelists Keshia Dupros, Chizzy Igbokwe, and Mary McClean Evans.  These women presented their thoughts on mentoring from an entrepreneurial, corporate, and higher education point of view, respectively.

Attendees and panelists then attended breakout mastermind* sessions, during which attendees posed questions and engaged in discussions about their mentoring experiences.

The evening closed with all participants and panelists returning to the main session to share thoughts and contact information.  Prizes provided for attendees by Sisters4Sisters were announced and the evening closed on a high note of anticipation for follow up connections with the panelists as well as ideas about selecting new mentors and improving relations with current ones.

*Napoleon Hill of Think and Grow Rich defines the master mind as “Coordination of knowledge and effort, in a spirit of harmony, between two or more people, for the attainment of a definite purpose.”
