"I feel like I was paired perfectly with my mentee, who is an amazingly capable, coachable joy to work with. I was able to expand his networking opportunities, and we are in the process of exploring internship possibilities.

We met both in person and on Zoom and had great conversations. I learned from his perspectives, studies, activities, and South African background."

— RAMP Mentor Mike Dwyer, Founder, Emplana Career

"It was an absolute pleasure to host a Suffolk student at the Gardner Museum for this job shadowing experience. The afternoon was full of important discussions about art institutions and all the considerations that go into creating exhibitions that are accessible and relevant to the public. The best part of the experience was getting to explore our special exhibition together and hear the student’s perspectives on the paintings."

— Job Shadowing Host Rachel DeLuca, Academic Programs Manager, The Isabella Stewart Gardner Museum
