Salem State Students Sought As 'Big Sisters' On North Shore

SALEM, MA — Salem State female students and other young women on the North Shore who have the time and interest in mentoring girls in the area are invited to become part of the "Big Sister on Campus" campaign at the university.

The Bertolon School of Business and Big Sister Association of Greater Boston will hold a remote informational session for those willing to mentor on Feb. 9 from 3 to 4 p.m. Those interested can register here.

The information session will include pre-recorded remarks from Salem Mayor Kim Driscoll and a question-and-answer session with Delaney Driscoll, who is a Big Sister, and longtime Big Sister Stephanie Fox, as well as Berolon School of Business Interim Dean Raminder Luther.

"There is a notable need for more Big Sisters on the North Shore," said Maren Juliano, vice president of marketing for Big Sister Association of Greater Boston. "Partnering with Salem State is a natural fit as we seek to connect with women who may be looking to deepen their connection to the community in which they live and go to school.

"The partnership also creates access to exploring post-secondary educational opportunities for our Little Sisters, which is critical to their future success."
