Mentors & Scholars Together
Scholar Herbert Moore (junior at Whitney Young) and Mentors Deja McClellan and Anthony Pilgrim enjoyed their first outing together on Saturday, November 8, at Mindworks, where they explored how data and human behavior intersect—and participated in some behavioral science research.
“I truly value any chance to connect with Herbert in person,” Deja said, “and Mindworks provided an excellent opportunity for that. The event featured enjoyable and engaging activities that allowed us to bond and learn more about each other as we strengthened our relationship. I want to express my gratitude to LINK for organizing this wonderful event!”
“Mindworks: The Science of Thinking” showcases the work and ideas of world-renowned scientists who help advance our collective understanding of the inner workings of human behavior—and how we can use that to improve our world. Free and open to the public, the center welcomes visitors to explore its interactive exhibits and museum atmosphere, take part in engaging, hands-on research studies, earn prizes for participating, and apply insights from behavioral science to help understand and improve their lives and communities.
Mentor/Scholar Thanksgiving Meet-up
To kick off the holiday season, Scholar Kye Phillips, a senior at Regina Dominican High School, invited her Mentors, Greg and Erin Mathurin, to attend the Hope Ignites Chicago Thanksgiving celebration with her. What a great opportunity for them to spend some quality time together and get to know each other better!
“Kye is extremely positive, energetic, and motivated,” Greg said. “She’s done a fantastic job of building relationships, and everyone we met had great things to say about her. We were proud to attend the event with her, and it was great to meet others who are part of her support network.”
Mentors, touch base with your Scholars often—and get together regularly to have some fun!
