Executive Mentoring Program
Program Overview
The Executive Mentoring Program provides a powerful means to learn about leadership in organizations and provides students an opportunity to build a larger business network. The program pairs MBA students with executives from various industries in a one-to-one relationship for a ten-month period. Current mentors represent various companies including Allergan, Broadcom, Deloitte, Smith Barney, Pacific Life, and Mazda.
Mentoring activities range from individual meetings, professional association meetings, company site visits, shadowing, and social functions.
