These info sessions will be on Wednes- day, February 11 from 7 to 8:30 pm in the Alumni Lounge and on Tuesday, Febru- ary 24 from 7 to 8:30 pm in the Reese Room of the Smith House.

Should someone have any doubts about the positive aspects of the pro- gram, I encourage them to approach any mentor and they will certainly tell you they don't regret it.
