Gordon Student and ASP Alumna Published in Washington Post
posted under IN THE NEWS
Gordon College student and American Studies Program alumna, Hilary Sherratt wrote an essay on mentorship that was recently published as part of the Washington Post's new series on "Leadership Reimagined." The article provides a powerful reflection from a student's perspective on the role mentoring relationships play in the holistic development of young leaders. When asked to introduce the article to our readers, Hilary writes:
When I think about my experience during college, my learning is linked to the mentoring relationships I have had. In those mentors I have found people who challenge and encourage me as a whole person. I have been privileged to share about my Gordon mentor in the Washington Post article, and what makes it even more special is to realize that the article echoes my relationships with mentors in high school, with my parents, with my supervisor at my internship in DC, and with the ASP faculty. I remember sitting across the table from Elizabeth Hanna my first week in DC and realizing that, like my college mentor, Elizabeth saw me as a whole person. She (and others I met in DC) wanted to ask tough questions that spanned my academic, emotional and spiritual selves and grew me as a whole person.
