Ross Wallenstein commented "Zoya Raynes is a friend of mine & that's how it came about. I think the mix of young professionals & college kids was impressive. The kids have a good understanding of what lies ahead & have some good insights in getting started in their careers. I suggested getting an internship somewhere."
"I was very happy to give back especially in the Jewish community. It is important that everyone understands the importance of mixing a Jewish life with their profession & JHP does a good job of encouraging that."A complete list of mentors that attended can be viewed at Mentors March 2.
