Miles College, a historically Black educational institution in Fairfield, Alabama, has been selected as a pilot site for the national rollout of MentorPRO, an AI-powered platform dedicated to fostering meaningful mentorship and connections. The software is currently available at 11 colleges and universities across the country.
The 2150 Center for Innovation, Commercialization, and Growth at Miles College will serve as the hub for integrating the MentorPRO platform at the HBCU. Ultimately, the project’s goal is curate a national network of at least 250 mentor-mentee relationships built to support entrepreneurship. At Miles, the 2150 Center will focus on creating a scalable HBCU matchmaker framework of students, professors, and subject matter experts.
“This partnership exemplifies our commitment to blending tradition with transformation,” said Erskine “Chuck” Faush, chief innovation officer at Miles College and CEO of the 2150 Center. “By leveraging MentorPRO’s expertise in mentoring and AI, we’re equipping Miles students — and soon, students across the HBCU ecosystem — to thrive in a rapidly evolving economy while ensuring their entrepreneurial voices shape our future.”
