Curious Cardinals Mentor

Charlie S.

PRO TIP:

When evaluating whether a mentor would be a good match for your student keep in mind that the greatest leading indicator of success is how well a mentor and their mentee get along.

Questions to ask yourself:

Would the student find this person inspiring?
Do they share any interests, hobbies, or lived experiences?

Charlie is currently an undergraduate student at Stanford University from Minneapolis, Minnesota. He has not declared a major, but is interested in Political Science, Philosophy, Psychology, and History. Charlie played ultimate frisbee in high school, and won Rookie of the Year on the Stanford Club Ultimate Frisbee team. He was a member of his high school’s “Green Team”, and organized/gave presentations about the importance of recycling and composting in elementary schools in Minneapolis. He has worked as a summer camp counselor for the last three years, teaching classes such as Mock Trials and The Amazing Race. Charlie volunteered as a youth soccer referee and coach, in addition to playing soccer for his entire life. Most recently, he was a volunteer fellow for the Colorado Democrats, leading phone banking sessions to help keep Colorado blue. He will also be a Stanford campus tour guide for prospective students and their families next fall. He loves reading, politics, sports (especially fantasy football), and philosophical discussions. Charlie hopes to encourage students to follow their passions at Curious Cardinals, no matter what those passions may be.
