TESTIMONIALS
Mentorship for Life “Meredith and I connected when I was unemployed not too long out of graduation. We talked about everything from the industry I wanted to be in to potential jobs, and she put me in contact with friends. Not only was Meredith great in connecting me with people and companies, but she was also a great person to celebrate accomplishments with, as well as just a friend through a tough time in my life.” -Shona Wilson, UGA Mentee
