Networking and Mentoring





Recognizing the vital role of mentorship and networking in forging strong professional relationships and gaining invaluable insights, we echo Porter Gale's sentiment that "Your Network Is Your Net Worth," highlighting the significance of social capital over financial assets. At the 1948 Circle of Excellence Foundation, we embrace this philosophy wholeheartedly. 

In 2022, we proudly hosted our inaugural Annual Professional Networking Mixer in collaboration with The Youth Motivational Taskforce Conference. This carefully curated program serves as a platform for introducing students to accomplished professionals across diverse industries, many of whom are esteemed alumni of AAMU. Furthermore, it facilitates peer-to-peer mentoring, allowing experienced students to offer guidance to their less advanced counterparts. This inclusive approach fosters a diverse and mutually beneficial learning environment, enabling students with varying perspectives to mentor each other effectively.

Why emphasize mentorship and networking? For building strong professional relationships and gaining valuable insights.
