I find that there are lots of opportunities for women to mentor other women. Here at Ivey, I teach a class in women in leadership with women who are in their early twenties. I find that our Ivey alums are very interested in connecting with the students. Each of the students in my class—I tend to have 70 students each year—connects with two or three Ivey alums. We make connections very formally that way with 200 alums.
Really I find that senior leaders are very interested in this field. They know that talent is scarce and that they have to compete for it, so if they can make an earlier connection with our highly qualified young women during their university years, they jump on the opportunity to do so. I know that the young women learn a lot from it and they really appreciate it.
