Today, we're spotlighting our amazing Ment2Teach mentor Leo! Leo is an elementary education major in his student teaching year. Swipe to read about his experience with Ment2Teach! 📚

“I joined Ment2Teach initially because we had so many mentees! I had worked in similar programs before, and I was so excited to share the information and love for OSU that I grew to have over my time here.” “Ment2Teach, as a mentor, was an amazing way to connect with others and feel like I am passing down knowledge.

As future educators, I think we all want to help the next generations be more prepared, and Ment2Teach helped me do that!”

“I think the highlight of my year with Ment2teach was the picnic with KDP. The weather was just perfect for everyone to gather outside and chat. The tote bag painting was very fun and practical, but I also found that doing art together was a great way to get to know each other even more!

All of the events with M2T feel very carefully crafted to bring people together.”

“College can be really isolating at first. Ment2Teach really helps build strong and lasting connections. These connections are so, so important as you advance your educational and professional career, but most of all, it's great to make friends that are passionate about the same things you are!

But if none of that has sold you - all the events have free food and fun activities!! :)”
