Tufts Black Alumni Association launches second year of mentorship program
Tufts Black Alumni Association (TBAA) held a launch event on the evening of Oct. 10 to mark the second year of the group’s mentorship program, which aims to prepare students for the professional world through connections with alumni.
The event took place in the Sophia Gordon Multipurpose Room and featured several speakers, including TBAA President Biodun “BK” Kajopaiye (A ’07) and alumnus Groom Dinkneh (A ’13), the director of the TBAA mentorship program and Young Alumni Affairs, according to TBAA alumni ambassador Jared Smith, a senior.
Dinkneh explained that the mentor program creates connections by matching up students with alumni.
“The program is an opportunity for alumni to connect with undergraduates who are interested or share some interests in academic or professional affairs,” he said.
