A Mentor’s Take: Kicking Off Year 9 at Beacon Hills!
On Thursday, September 18th, 2025 was the launch of my ninth year as a mentor with the Academy. The Academy Mentor Info Session & Happy Hour was at Beacon Hillsin Aksarben. Even as a veteran, I always find immense value in these gatherings.
Still Learning After All These Years
The Info Session (3:30–4:00 p.m.) was incredibly useful A folder of information was provided to talk about the benefits of being a mentor and what the program was about.
The Best Part of the Kickoff
But, let’s be honest, the true highlight for the veterans like me is the Happy Hour (4:00–5:00 p.m.). It was nice to be off campus and be provided food and drinks.
Ready for Year Nine
The next step is waiting for my mentee to contact me so we can kick off the 2025-2026 year.
