New Career Hubs and Mentorship Program for Student Success
A generous donation by Gioietta and Alberto Vitale, H.D. ’09 will create two new career hubs at the ԹϱManhattan and Bronx Campuses and establish a dedicated PACT mentor for the Թϱ Scholars Program. These visible hubs will provide students the opportunity to increase their career readiness through career education programming, virtual and mock interviews, coaching appointments, collaborative projects, as well as employer networking opportunities. The Career Hub at the Dobbs Ferry Campus will be renamed the Vitale Career Hub.
The PACT mentor will help connect the cohort of Scholars across campuses and build cohesiveness and shared aspirations for success through programming and events. By focusing on Թϱ Scholars, the PACT mentor will help connect Scholars with appropriate resources to ensure their continued academic, personal and professional success. Rob Cornetta, associate director of PACT, Թϱ Scholars, said, “I am truly excited to have the opportunity to serve as the PACT Mentor for the Թϱ Scholars Program. Thanks to the generosity of Gioietta and Alberto Vitale, Թϱ Scholars will benefit from new programming and experiences specifically created to support their success. I look forward to working with this group of students and building camaraderie and lasting traditions.” PACT mentors are assigned to all graduate and undergraduate students at Թϱ College to help guide students through their journey at the College. These mentors help students choose their majors, navigate degree requirements, register for classes, track their academic progress, understand financial aid packages, develop leadership skills, explore career options and ultimately reach their full potential.
