The Mentorship Program is designed to bring together alumni, current students, and recent graduates in purposeful and rewarding relationships to help bridge the gap between the classroom and the professional world. With the world of business and government changing quickly, having the input and advice of working professionals can help students and new alumni discover rewarding ways to put their degrees to work.
Applications for the mentorship program have concluded for the Fall 2024 season. If you are interested in participating in mentorship program in the future, applications for the Fall 2025 program will go live in August of 2025.
