Admin team

Our core leadership team is composed of two UMN Directors and 7 Lead Mentors from UMN (split between UMN’s ICD, psychology, and educational psychology programs) who are paid as consultants and facilitate 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 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 (25′-26′) leadership team.
