The Luter School offers a mentorship program to juniors and seniors who are majoring in business. In cooperation with the Luter Board of Advisors, the Mentorship Program offers Luter students the opportunity to enhance their business leadership skills and gain business exposure and advice through interaction with business professionals and community leaders. These successful business professionals and community leaders volunteer their time to work one-on-one with Luter students to cultivate a rewarding and educational experience. The mentors share their insights and experiences; provide career guidance regarding expectations, networking and leadership skills, and community / social responsibility; and aid students in making contacts within the business community. For more information about the program or if you would like to inquire about being a mentor, please contact Ms. Tricia Lorandi at 757-594-7184.
