Admin team

Our core leadership team is composed of two UMN Directors, a PSU Coordinator, and 10-12 Lead Mentors from UMN and PSU (split between UMN’s ICD, psychology, educational psychology, and PSU psychology) who are paid as consultants and lead/organize panels/workshops throughout the year. Lead mentors represent a variety of identities (e.g., first-gen, BIPOC, LGBTQ+, low-income, international, disabled) and lived experiences to ensure substantial diversity in our programming. They can serve up to two years, with the possibility of more if space and funding permit. Directors and Coordinators manage the logistics of the program as well as lead the welcome/training sessions and serve a minimum of two years and a maximum of four. Below is our current (23′-24′) leadership team.
