Programming
Over time, in meeting with your mentor every week, you get to know each other pretty well.
We also want you to meet other students and other mentors.
Here's a general outline of what we do each quarter. For our theater, museum, performance and neighborhood events, we collaborate with cultural RSOs. Whether or not you have mentor in the CMP, you are welcome to join us at any of our programs and events. We advertise all of our programming on RSO listhosts as well as the CMP listhost.
