2015-2016 Mentor Program Registration
Be a Mentor – Make a Difference!
Program Description
The School of Business Mentor Program provides students with an invaluable opportunity for
personal and professional development through the support of a mentor.
Mentors provide guidance and support to help students to: enhance their knowledge and skills; build
their self-confidence; explore and better define their career goals and options; and, build their
professional network. As a mentor you can share your background and career experiences, impart
industry trends and best practices, and give professional advice relevant to the student’s career
interests and goals.
Each mentor is assigned to one student (aka mentee), who is attending a campus that is within
reasonable proximity of the mentor’s regional area.
