Mayo Peer-to-Peer Mentoring Program boosts representation in field of design
Joseph Wisne and Bridgette Mariea believe deeply in the importance of representation across the field of design. To capitalize on this opportunity, Wisne and Mariea have funded the Mayo Peer-to-Peer Mentoring Program in the Department of Design. They hope their passion for representation in the field can inspire other design firms to participate in this initiative.
The program provides the opportunity for three first-year students to be mentored by three third- and fourth-year students of diverse backgrounds. Each participant — both mentor and mentee — are awarded a scholarship as part of their participation.
“‘Design’ is often misunderstood to be a narrower discipline than it really is. There’s enormous space to accommodate the full spectrum of human perspectives, backgrounds and skills.” – Joseph Wisne
