Each year, one of the most anticipated events for both mentees and mentors is the ODU WIN Etiquette Dinner. At this dinner, participants learn important dining etiquette, which is essential for making a professional impression. This is particularly crucial when meeting with recruiters or potential employers, as it can lead to internships or job opportunities. This year, we introduced two special ceremonies: one to recognize outstanding mentors and another to recognize all mentees who completed the program requirements. Mentees who went beyond requirements received ODU WIN cords. We celebrate our Monarch Award recipients, ODU WIN mentors who inspire our mentees to reach for the stars. Krista Costa Mel Goodrich Charlene Morring We recognize our Beacon Award winners, ODU WIN mentors who consistently show up and support mentees. Thao Balsamo Mia Joe Nikki Roth Kathleen Comer Mozzi Michele Mulich We honor our Anchor Award winners, ODU WIN mentors who support mentees with their special skills. Ann Jones Amber Price Karey Malyszko We extend our thanks to Linda Dyer of Finishing Touches for sharing her wisdom and knowledge, and to all the mentors who generously give their time to make a difference in the lives of others. #oduwin #mentorshipmatters #etiquettedinner #awards #thankyou

Our events, including the most recent Speaker Series featuring former NASA astronaut Dr. Mae C. Jemison, are designed to support the growth of female leaders.
