Emma Rubin Commenting on Mentoring:

I became a SAW Mentor because the center has been a huge resource for me and I want to help others in the way that many other mentors have helped me. My favorite thing about peer mentoring is seeing all of the amazing projects that Mount Holyoke students are working on. Even as a mentor, I feel I leave sessions having learned something new as well. The SAW Center is an amazing place to meet people from across the campus and learn from each other.
