The Executive Mentor Program, which launched in Fall 2012, matches College of Business students with influential community business leaders who share their personal and professional experiences, knowledge and skills.
The one-on-one mentor relationship allows for individual attention to the student mentee’s career aspirations, professional development and networking needs. The access to local business leaders provides students with an inside track for full-time, post-graduate employment.
