As a first generation college student, good mentors were central at every stage of my education. These folks recognized my potential, pushed me to reach and expand it, and offered support along the way. I continue to benefit from the mentorship of those around me in and outside of UB. Returning the favor and serving in a mentorship role for my students is the best part of my job.
