X-quisit Mentors for the Future Leaders
To promote the growth and development of the student to improve their learning. One of the mentor’s initial responsibilities is to establish a trusting relationship with the student. Mentors have many vital roles and responsibilities; teachers, role models, networkers, counselors, and last but not least living up to their student's expectations. We strive to build productive relationships and make a positive impact with all of our pursuits.
