MBA – Undergraduate Mentorship Program
Program Description: The MBA-Undergraduate Mentorship Program is designed to create mentorship and networking opportunities for students within Questrom. More specifically, graduate students in the MBA program (FTMBA and PEMBA) are matched with undergraduate students (Juniors and Seniors) by considering industry, function, and personal interests. Career exploration, industry insights, and networking strategies are common conversations between mentors and mentees, and developing a mutually valuable relationship is a common goal for both parties.
Length of Program: Full Academic Year
How to Participate: An email will be sent out to all FTMBAs, PEMBAs, and undergraduate Juniors and Seniors at the beginning of the fall semester with an interest form for you to complete if you would like to participate in the program for the current academic year.
