The Leadership and Mentoring Program (LAMP) is a collaborative partnership, initiated in 2015, between the Harry. F. Byrd Jr., School of Business, Community, Corporations, Companies, Industries, Faculty and most important, students. The purpose of the program is to create platforms for student professional and personal growth as it relates to merging theoretical constructs with the business industry. This program connects and bridges the gap that sometimes occurs between the academy and the industry. LAMP provides a support system where ideas and professional experience can be exchanged in a nurturing and healthy environment. Students are encouraged to leverage LAMP mentors for career guidance, leadership development, career exploration and professional individual sponsorship.Â
