Legendary jockey leaps through hurdles

IUS Horizon January 29, 2012
In honor of National Mentoring Month, the Center for Mentoring welcomed Pat Day, Hall of Fame jockey, to speak about his life’s successes on and off the race track on Jan. 13 in the Hoosier Room. Since its creation at the Harvard School of Public Health in 2002, January has been declared National Mentoring Month, a time when people across the country are encouraged to show gratitude to those in their lives that have shown them direction and guidance. June Huggins, director for the Center of Mentoring, said Jan. 26 is Thank Your Mentor Day, and people celebrating will write personal letters to their mentors to thank them for the various ways in which they have been supportive. She said a mentor can be anyone — a teacher, a church member, a neighbor or a relative.
