Kevin Truong (MPA ’20) Sets an Example with Hey Mentor
Second-year MPA student Kevin Truong was featured in Perspectives, the College of Arts and Sciences January 2019 newsletter for his exciting work founding Hey Mentor, an online mentor program for high school students. Since its launch in fall 2017, Hey Mentor has served students from more than 20 high schools in King County, and has earned the attention and support of the Gates Foundation. Truong hopes Hey Mentor can continue to broaden its reach, with Hey Mentor clubs at other universities in Washington state and beyond. Given his own background, he understands what a difference a little help can make.
