Members of the Honorable Peter R. Palermo Mentorship Program, Sylvester Bailey (`25), Immediate Past President, Victoria Murciano (President), Chase Jacob (Vice President), Rhod Belizaire, Tanisha Castro, and Gianna Casolaro, led a successful teach-back session at Miami Carol City High School. During the session, high school students explored legal issues affecting their community and came up with solutions through explorative legal analysis.
This initiative is a powerful community partnership between St. Thomas University College of Law and Miami Carol City High School Law Magnet Program, designed to connect law students with the next generation through mentorship, exposure, and leadership development.
The mentors were inspired to see students actively engage, ask thoughtful questions, and step into leadership roles. Moments like this reinforce that mentorship is not just about guidance, it’s about building confidence and expanding what young people believe is possible.
