TO THE EDITOR:
Thank you so much for your article on Oct. 23 highlighting the Carolina Covenant program and singling out the work by Shirley Ort and Fred Clark.
I have been privileged to be a mentor since the program’s inception and witnessed firsthand the impact on students. Many of my advisees are now medical or dental students, launched on their careers through the tireless work of these luminaries.
This program is a model for other universities and makes me proud to be part of the Carolina family.
