Summary:As the semester comes to a close, many students are reminded of the teachers who impacted their lives. But those of them who have made their way into the professional sphere were often also helped and directed by others who took an interest in their success. Here, White asked six leaders, including Tom Hoog and Glen T Cameron, how today's PR professionals are mentoring tomorrow's future prospects. These five practitioners and one educator lead by example and epitomize the value of knowledge transfer. They highlight the importance of their roles, some of the challenges that can occur and how other professionals can pay it forward.
