Peer Mentorship Program - Unfortunately, many mentors are not getting responses from their mentees. Mentees, please make sure you are replying to your mentor and double check that you have not accidentally missed or deleted any communication from them. If you no longer want to participate in the program, please reach out to Kelly at kndavis@umass.edu. It is important that we are all on the same page so that we can have a smooth and successful program!
Protect Our Breasts - Protect Our Breasts is a non-profit breast cancer prevention organization started here at UMass that aims to educate people about the dangers of the chemicals in our everyday exposures that can lead to cancer down the line. The UMass chapter is looking for more members to join their club to learn about these things. They meet in Isenberg twice monthly where they do fun DIY activities, enjoy organic snacks and table in the dining hall to spread their message. If you are interested please email protectourbreasts.umass@gmail.com.
