Our Chapter’s greatest accomplishment in the context of Inclusive Mentorship has been our tireless commitment to identifying new mentors and training them to join our team. We boast a group of dedicated, skilled, and personable mentors that have been invaluable to our project as we continue to undertake cohorts.
In discussing Insights & Inspiration, we would like to highlight the bonus sessions that our chapter runs. We have had guest speakers from all over the world talk through their experiences in higher education, working abroad, and work in specific fields. Our most recent bonus session, “Educational Experiences”, highlighted the process of applying for scholarships and securing internal and external funding at university.
Our chapter prioritises having roots in Uzbekistan. Many members of our executive continue to do groundwork across the country, and they are supplemented by the online efforts of members living abroad. We have worked with a number of Uzbek organisations and NGOs to expand our network and cultivate a community of young women in areas from Fergana to Tashkent. Against all odds, our primarily-online team have had reunions in the United States, the United Kingdom, and of course, in Uzbekistan, strengthening the internal bonds of our G4G mentors. Going forward, we hope to connect with other chapters in person.
