\n\n Due to the coronavirus, internships, on-campus events, and many\n job offers were rescinded. These cuts hit students from\n underrepresented backgrounds especially hard because they often\n use these opportunities to build their networks and secure their\n first job. Ensuring that students land their first job is crucial\n because it impacts their earning potential for years to come. We\n realized that if we did not help rebuild these informal networks,\n incredibly bright students could become under or unemployed,\n risking a lost generation just when the efforts in higher\n education to bring in a more diverse student body have started to\n bear fruit.\n
\n\n We are committed to ensuring this does not happen. We will not\n have a Lost Generation.\n
\n\n A mobilization of companies and professionals across the country\n to support the next generation of leaders.\n
\n\n Our first goal is to register and connect 100,000 professionals to\n mentor 100,000 students from underserved communities during the{' '}\n {new Date().getFullYear()}/{new Date().getFullYear() + 1} academic\n year.\n
