The Art of Mentoring = Mentorology. The Over My Shoulder Foundation, founded by Dawn Carroll, award-winning stone designer at Cumar, Inc. and Grammy Award winner Patti Austin is proud to have inspired Design New England’s Mentors In Design Awards(MIDDIES). The MIDDIES recognize design professionals who share their time, expertise and wisdom with upcoming generations of designers.The Over My Shoulder Foundation is a unique media-based project whose goal is to raise awareness of the impact of mentoring both cross-culturally and cross-generationally.“Our goal is to break down barriers that separate generations of people and cultures. Through mentoring, we all are increasingly interdependent on each other, rather than independent individuals. And, because of people’s interdependency, the foundation hopes to foster respect, diversity, culture,and individuality.” Patti Austin, www.overmyshoulderfoundation.org.
