Niara: Kick Off Meeting
Date and Time

Description
The Niara Program is a mentoring program to help women students of
color connect and build meaningful relationships with professional
staff and faculty of color in order to strengthen connections to the
campus community, the community at large, and to enhance their college experience.
Our once a month meetings include topics such as career guidance,
networking, leadership development, racial and gender expectations and
goal setting, service learning and social activities with other mentor
programs for students of color such as Black Male Scholar Initiative,
Laker Familia, and Hermanos. Each participant will be paired with a
GVSU faculty/staff women of color and create an individual plan to
meet the student's needs. There is also the opportunity to engage in
leadership opportunities, social and wellness activities, and lunch
time discussions.
