A Look Back at 2016

Asalamoalaikum,

2016 was an important year for us. We reached the 100 mentor-mentee milestone and created more than 45 relationships. We established partnerships with other organizations and provided our mentors and mentees with opportunities across various fields. We organized events and webinars, and even attracted the attention of local news outlets.

Perhaps the one thing that makes our team the happiest is knowing that we've made real impacts on people's lives. It's great to hear the sweet words of a mentee who has landed a dream job, or another who has just been accepted to the grad school they've worked long and hard for. Even with these successes our team continues to assess and find ways to improve. 

2017 will be another big year for us. We want to be more focused and increase our level of quality and efficiency. As Steve Jobs said, "Be a yardstick of quality. Some people aren't used to an environment where excellence is expected". To take our program to the next level we'll need you. We need your passion, your experience, and your dedication. I look forward to a new year and an opportunity to working with every single one of you.

"Individually, we are one drop. Together, we are an ocean".
