Mentors who come from backgrounds like business owners, marketing specialists, public administrators, and passionate entrepreneurs add a dose of passion and motivation to guide the students through the development of their businesses.

We are thankful for those who were part of this significant initiative to support our students!

The respirator type most commonly used in a health care setting is the disposable, N95 filtering facepiece respirator (FFR), which is designed to achieve a very close facial fit and provide efficient filtration of airborne particles.
