Mentorship Events
Each semester, the mentorship chairs organize and host monthly mentorship events. Mentors are expected to attend these events, which typically take place on Saturdays from 2PM to 4PM, with their mentees.
In the past, these events included activities such as arts and crafts, games, and making food.
Mentorship events are typically held on Penn's campus, but sometimes mini-excursions are taken outside of the university. Recent field trips include a visit to the Philadelphia Zoo, an ice skating session at Dilworth Park, and a family-style banquet at Sang Kee Peking Duck House Restaurant.
