An avid old boy who keeps abreast of the current state of our school and who is keen on improving the general state of academics, Charles Ross sees mentorship as a pillar through which this can be achieved.
(L to R) Sterling Asset Management Charles Ross and Marva Chang with COBA Executive, Howard James and David Miller, President COBA.Charles' commitment and dedication to Calabar have seen him supporting several COBA initiatives over the years including the building of our COBA Centre of Excellence - the home of our Old Boys and the hub of COBA's operations.
On February 1, 2019, the Mentorship program launched another initiative - the Guest Mentorship program which is geared at targeting students of 11th, 12th & 13th grades through focused one-hour sessions in a seminar type setting with no more than 25 boys in each meeting.
The primary objective of the program is to shift the culture of the school towards improved academic discipline, primarily through discussions on social issues and setting the foundation for professional development and adulthood.
Funding from Charles will be used to develop this program through related activities. COBA, the management and students of Calabar thanks Charles wholeheartedly for his continued dedication to our School.
