Simmons College Graduate Cecelia Bittner Discusses the Impact of Mentoring on her Life

Cecelia Bittner graduated from Simmons College this past spring. During the first semester of her senior year, she wrote a case for the Hot Mommas Project entitled “TightRope Act.” Cecelia’s case begins by highlighting the many things to which she committed during her senior year, including a 24 credit hour course load, an internship, and a part-time job. Cecelia felt under great pressure, but a key relationship she formed in her academic/professional life helped to alleviate much of this pressure. With whom was this crucial relationship? A mentor.
