Our new partnership with the Austin Independent School District (AISD) kicked off this week at our three sites, Lanier, Reagan, and Travis High Schools. Our kick off week activities included a pizza party where about 25 of our UT graduate and undergraduate students, including mentoring staff and student mentors, introduced Project MALES to our high school students, at their respective school campuses. During this event mentors and mentees had the opportunity to meet each other before breaking up into their mentoring groups for the academic year. Other activities included icebreakers where mentors and mentees learned about one another, followed by an overview of the topics and activities they will be engaging in throughout the school year.
