FORevHER Tar Heels Mentorship
CHAPEL HILL, NC MARCH 17, 2020
Stephynie Malik, CEO & Founder of SMALIK Enterprises has been selected to serve as a business mentor for the University of North Carolina’s FORevHER Tar Heels initiative. Launched by the Rams Club and Carolina Athletics, the program is one of the first of its kind in the country and focuses on the continued commitment to create and enhance opportunities for female student-athletes.
The FORevHER program will engage a network of successful alumnae, supporters and leaders who will work with the university’s female athletes in a mentorship capacity to aid their development as they look to transition from athletics into their chosen career paths. In addition, FORevHER Tar Heels will provide resources to enhance the career networking program at UNC, and will add to the coaches' arsenal of recruiting tools. “Being able to play a part in the development of these young women’s lives and more importantly their future is an absolute honor,” said SMALIK Enterprises CEO Stephynie Malik. “I’m excited to see them take their unparalleled athletic success and transfer it into their careers. There is no doubt that this group of women will go on to do great things and truly impact the world.”
“Being able to play a part in the development of these young women’s lives and more importantly their future is an absolute honor.”

Funds will be used for everything from facilities enhancements to scholarship support to mentorship programs.
