In September 2010, Women's Inter-Cultural Exchange kicked off its inaugural "Mentoring Across Differences" program with 20 mentees from Johnson C Smith University. The program was developed to complement the students' leadership and development skills and allow them to be more visible to senior level people, both in businesses and in the community. It's an opportunity for these students to receive guidance from leaders they may normally not have access to. This program ensures promising students are nurtured by others who are willing to share their time, experiences and formulas for success in a global society.
