The purpose of Call Me MiSTER (Mentors Instructing Students Toward Effective Role models) at Western Carolina University is to increase the pool of available teachers from diverse backgrounds in the Western Carolina region and across the state of North Carolina.
With racially and ethnically diverse students emerging as the majority population in our public schools, it is vital that our students see teachers that look like them in their public school buildings and classrooms.
