Women's Center Seeks Mentors, Offers Spring Semester Luncheon Groups

The Boise State Women’s Center is looking for mentors for its Returning Women’s Mentoring Program. The program is designed to support women who are returning to school after being out for several years. Internship credit is available for mentors, and the center is also seeking women who are interested in being mentored.

The Women’s Center also offers returning women’s discussion group luncheons from 11:30 a.m.-1:30 p.m. every other Thursday, beginning Jan. 25. The free luncheons are held at the Women’s Center, and all women students and staff are welcome to stay for all or part of the luncheon.

Women in Careers is a new program featuring local women who serve in non-traditional careers. Held in a brown bag lunch format, the program will feature guest speakers each month from noon-1 p.m. at the Women’s Center. Scheduled guests include State Rep. Nicole LeFavour on Feb. 14 and College of Engineering Dean Cheryl Schrader on April 11. The March speaker will be announced later.
