Mentor Impact
<p>As part of the Cargill Global Scholars Program, selected Cargill staff members serve as Mentors to support Cargill Scholars as they navigate important academic and professional decisions. The pairs often form lasting personal connections along the way, making mentorship an essential component of the CGSP. Mentor surveys and focus group discussions conducted by IIE’s evaluation team highlighted the impacts that Mentors had on their Scholars and the impact of the experience on Mentors themselves. </p>
