Personal and Professional Development
Enjoy direct access to highly successful executives and grow a strong network. Principled, professional mentors provide Fellows with guidance, support and access to resources to enhance their development. GHR Fellows also engage in peer mentoring, in which older GHR Fellows support new Fellows in their transition to college and the program.
Through unique case narratives, photos and samples of their work, GHR Fellows can build impressive portfolios to share with prospective employers throughout their time at St. Thomas.
