ALBANY — The Albany State University Office of Career Services collaborated with the College of Business, Education and Professional Studies for students to attend the second annual HBCU Mentorship Breakfast sponsored by Bridge to Leadership.
Bridge to Leadership is an organization that identifies and develops young multicultural leaders to become agents of change in the community and work force by focusing on three pillars: education, empowerment and exposure. The purpose of the annual event is to assist students as they transition into adulthood by developing a community of professional mentors.
More than 400 students from various HBCUs attended the event, including 55 students from ASU. Students were provided opportunities to network, participate in workshops, receive internships, mentorships, employment, and professional head shots. The event also featured keynote speaker Angela Rye and a special guest appearance from Jeezy. Attendees were able to meet and receive free copies of Jeezy’s latest book “Adversity for Sale.”
“I am extremely grateful to the University and the Office of Career Services for the opportunity to attend such a pivotal event for my professional development,” ASU student Nia Williams said. “It really made an impact on my life and has empowered me to continue to seek out my purpose.”
