While ideas can be inspiring and uplifting, life is played out in the personal and in the particular. As a leadership program, Polaris seeks to engage each student where she is in life; for this reason, mentoring is the most important aspect of the program. 

​

With her mentor, each student applies what she learned during the monthly sessions to her own circumstances, formulating goals and navigating the challenges she encounters. 

​

The mentors are professional women who lead each Unit or serve on Polaris' Executive Committee. 

They are committed to meet with their mentees at least once a month, and gladly make themselves available outside program hours.
