Mentorship Program






Meet an Exceptional Role Model
When you participate in the Corporate Mentoring Program, you put experience in your corner. Offered through the Center for Global Leadership and Team Development, these one-on-one partnerships pair third-year FEMBA students with senior level executives in their chosen functional area and/or chosen industry. You can gain a deeper understanding of the mentor’s field and receive the kind of feedback, advice and input only seasoned professionals can provide.

Mentors come from a variety of fields and industries and are typically at the senior management level. They are professionals who welcome the opportunity to provide guidance and coaching to students with exceptional potential.

Students in the program may have the opportunity to:

• Learn about specific jobs, career paths, organizational cultures, and industries
• Receive constructive feedback about personal and business skills
• Attend onsite meetings or tour the mentor’s company
• Develop an understanding of organizational cultures
• See in action the skills and abilities required for successful leadership
• Network with the mentor’s organization and colleagues at events or business functions

The Center for Global Leadership and Team Development hosts three Mentor Program Events.
