Graduate Mentor Program
The Graduate Mentorship Program offers graduate students an opportunity to connect with a more experienced professional to fine-tune career goals, learn first-hand knowledge of specific industries and job functions, and grow their professional network. Mentors are matched with students whose career goals and interests align with their own professional background and experience.
The Graduate Mentorship Program is offered each spring term to current students enrolled in the Professional MBA, Professional MSM Human Resources and Professional M.S. Real Estate programs.
