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?

Ria D. (IN A NUTSHELL)

Ria is majoring in Applied Mathematics in Economics and Computer Science at Harvard, with a minor in English. Even as a sophomore, she has already made an impact on campus: not only does she contribute to the Harvard Lampoon and costume design for the Hasty Pudding Theatricals, she is also president of the Harvard-Radcliffe Gilbert and Sullivan Players, a theatre organization with over 60 members and an annual budget of $50,000. Her goal--both as a teacher and a student--is to erase any arbitrary boundaries between the arts and the sciences. She's teaching computers how to read and understand contemporary literature on more than just a surface level, she's the head developer of a startup catering to virtual theatre, and she's looking into weaving graphene into textiles to produce wearable technology. At Curious Cardinals, she will be focused on teaching math, computer science, english, and interdisciplinary art, hoping to slowly weave those disciplines together.
