University-wide mentorship program<\/h2>\n

[\/vc_column_text][vc_empty_space height=”15px” image_repeat=”no-repeat”][vc_column_text]This three-month virtual program brings enthusiastic undergraduate and graduate students, alumni, faculty, staff, and parents together in a unique partnership to support both student and alumni mentees in achieving their short and long-term goals. The program runs twice annually; Fall: October-December and Spring; February-April.<\/p>\n

How does the Mentorship Program work?\u00a0<\/strong><\/p>\n

To foster enriching connections, participants are carefully matched based on their interests and career aspirations, creating pairs equipped to guide and empower mentees through their professional journeys.
