Leadership Mentoring

Applications are now closed

Mentoring is an excellent way to nurture encouragement, growth, learning and upskilling. This empowers students and early careerists to perform best in their role and to progress further in their career. At NALHE, we believe that leadership mentoring for Latino, Latina, and Multicultural professionals will advance and transform diversity in leadership within our industry.

NALHE’s La Mesa Emerging Leaders Program provides an important and safe platform to convene and connect diverse leaders with NALHE student and early careerist members from across the country to share their experiences and knowledge—to give back, guide and support those who have the interest and potential to advance to executive suite positions.
