Dear Mentor,

Thank you for considering the mentorship of a young woman as part of our summer Women’s Business Leadership Class. My name is Kathy Korman Frey, I am a  faculty member at the George Washington University School of Business and have organized this special private seminar series for State Department cultural exchange students. All proceeds from this class benefit my women’s leadership research, The Hot Mommas Project.

Mentees are directed to identify a mentor, conduct an interview (not via email), write-up the interview (for their personal records), and then share their top three learnings with the class via our blog – which you are reading now.  Students are told to use the mentor first name only in their summary write-up. In addition, students are encouraged to take the lead in scheduling and following up about the interview thus learning key skills in professionalism and “managing up.”  Finally, students are encouraged to share interview questions in advance and – while we hope they do – you may need to help navigate them through this process.

For any additional questions, please email me. Thank you again for your interest.

Please see the assignment detail  here:
