MENTORS & ADVISORS

Mentors consist of alumni and other Catholic professionals who aid Scholars by meeting individually with Scholars, teaching short courses, or hiring our students.Mentors commit to a deeper level of participation and support Scholars individually.

Advisors are Catholic professionals who have become the best in their respective fields and guide The Institute through instruction and by identifying emerging skills needed within the changing marketplace. Advisors do not have a required level of commitment.
