Stroock owes its successful mentoring program in large part to Ida Abbott. She was so generous with her time in consulting with us during the organizing process. And then she ran an extremely popular seminar, sensitizing both mentors and mentees as to the overall goals of the program, and the details of how to make the relationship work.
