Project Protege--Testimony

"I was able to participate in Project Protégé my junior and senior year, but I wish I had done it all four years. Getting involved in Project Protégé is an excellent opportunity to network with professionals in a stress-free environment, and it can help you find out what you want to do with your life after graduation."

“I really must attribute my career to participating in Project Protégé. After meeting my mentor at the Project Protégé luncheon, I was able to secure an internship with his organization which in turn, gave me the necessary experience to land a position at a local public relations agency in Wilmington upon my graduation (a rare feat in the Wilmington job market)! The contacts I was able to make are priceless. Thank you for a great experience!”

"It was the best experience my senior year"

"…it was a great experience and I gained so much from this experience…I really enjoyed it!”

"it's a great program & useful"

"Just wanted to drop you a note of appreciation. The 1st job I applied for (and the only) I landed...guess who told me to apply for this job in the first place? My Project Protégé mentor!"

"I am writing you to thank you for giving me the opportunity to be apart of the Project Protégé mentoring program. It was very beneficial in the fact that I made such a strong connection with my mentor...I learned so much about making connections..."

"Project Protégé opened several doors for me. Through the program, I met my protégé who I later interned with for a semester on campus.
The experience I gained in that internship, led to two internships with a professional sports team that led to my current job position.
In a way because of Project Protégé, I am gainfully employed in an area of study that I truly enjoy. Thank you Project Protégé for introducing me to my protégé and providing me opportunities to pursue what I wanted to do."
