“It is encouraging to have the support of successful women that we can look up to. I am glad that I have been able to show my mentee that degrees in the sciences are challenging but fun!”
“My mentee knows that there are many opportunities for women and that there is a great support system here to help her be successful.”
“By being a mentor, I have found that my mentee has actually motivated me to work harder and not give up.”
“When my mentee would ask questions, sometimes I would have to look new things up to answer her. I found more options and opportunities not just for her, but for myself through our interactions.”
“When my mentee and I talk, I have to remember back when I was in high school and then I remember the pure reasons I wanted to choose my field of study.”
“GirLinks has made me look back on what I've accomplished since I came to ISU. I forgot how scared I was and how many little things I've picked up on since I've been here. It's made me more confident that what I've chosen to do is the right choice for me.”
“GirLinks has allowed me to have a leadership role without too many extra responsibilities. I would recommend this to any student; it's a great way to get involved!”
