The new year started strong for Ignite MindShift as board member Christal Thompson of PwC joined Karen Black to lead our first Mentors & Networking session of the year, engaging 14 students in meaningful conversation and connection. Building on that momentum, they both returned to guide students through a focused Time Management workshop, equipping them with practical tools to prioritize responsibilities, manage their schedules effectively, and stay on track toward their academic and career goals. Together, Christal and Karen brought both expertise and dedication to every session, setting a powerful tone for the year ahead and reinforcing our commitment to preparing students for success inside and outside the classroom.
