Me and My Shadow
Courtney Garvin (VPA ’16) participated in the Seymour School Shadow Day for fifth graders from the Seymour School in Syracuse. The program gives students the chance to experience and see a college campus in hopes of encouraging them to pursue a college education. The experience gave Courtney “a chance to help and to a degree act as a mentor for a day to the two girls that shadowed me. Shadow day has made me want to continue to be able to help them in any way by either setting up a program through the University where I can continue to meet with the kids and serve as a kind of mentor or join a program like Big Brothers and Big Sisters which I know has a connection to the Seymour School already.”
