The Young Black Professionals in International Affairs (YBPIA) student organization is proud to announce the launch of their Mentorship Program. They are looking for graduate students, alumni, and early to mid-career professionals in international affairs to serve as mentors for Elliott School undergraduate students. You can learn more about the program and apply through YBPIA’s Linktree page, which includes application forms for undergraduate and graduate students, as well as alumni.
All Elliott School students and alumni are also invited to YBPIA’s first Student-Alumni Mixer, which will take place on Zoom on November 11. Participants will meet the student members of YBPIA and connect with alumni interested in their efforts through breakout rooms and conversations. YBPIA will also discuss their plans for the mentorship program.
Founded this summer, Young Black Professionals in International Affairs is a student organization committed to enhancing African and African diaspora (African-American, Afro-Latinx, Afro-Caribbean) perspectives, conversation, participation, and scholarship in both the Elliott School of International Affairs and the field of international relations overall — through mentorship, professional & academic development, and community.
