Mentoring

You have developed remarkable journalistic skills over the past year, and now it’s time to help tell stories in your own community. Each student who completes the Immersion program will be assigned two mentors — an Elon University communications student and a professional journalist — to help you identify, report and produce multimedia stories during your senior year of high school.

The mentoring relationship is not limited to story production, however. During this critical year of your academic career, your mentors will also provide guidance about the college application and selection process, as well as suggestions for internship and career exploration.

What you get

A professional mentor who will meet monthly to discuss story development, college and career preparation.
