On April 28, the Moynihan Public Service Fellows had the opportunity to meet with eleven mentors, including public servants, journalists, and former colleagues of Senator Moynihan, at the Spring Mentorship Reception.

The mentors offered valuable insights into their careers, organizations, and personal experiences. The fellows and mentors participated in small group discussions, where they asked questions, shared contact information, and discussed future career possibilities. The afternoon created new connections and fostered engaging conversations.
