🐾 COACH Mentoring: Powered by Panthers. Driven by Purpose.
The COACH Mentoring Program has been a beloved Hanover tradition—connecting generations of Panthers through authentic, empowering mentorship. What began as a one-on-one model has now evolved into a vibrant, classroom-connected experience rooted in real-world insight and lasting relationships.
Today, with the launch of the new HanoverConnect Mentoring Module, it’s easier than ever for alumni to support students, shape futures, and stay actively involved—no matter where life has taken you.
