Protégé Application 

The Center for Global Leadership is excited to launch a new pilot Undergraduate Mentoring Program for Business Administration juniors and seniors (in their third and fourth year on campus). The program aims to connect business undergraduates with an appropriate mentor who can guide, coach and support them as they transition to the professional world. The program lasts from November - June with an expectation of a monthly meeting. This program however has a limited number of mentors as we are in the pilot phase. We encourage you to apply. But please note, that we have limited spaces for both applicants and selection.

Expectations

To get the most out of this mentoring relationship, we hope that protégés:  

• Be self-reflective and aware. The success of the partnership with your mentor depends on your own self-awareness of your strengths, experiences and learning opportunities. Understanding your strengths will allow you to identify your weaknesses, giving you a chance to improve on them with the guidance of your mentor. 
• Take initiative in their own development by actively sharing professional and personal goals. Don’t be afraid to reach out to your mentor and ask for their advice and guidance, that’s what they are here for! 
• Be receptive to feedback. Be open to any feedback or suggestions made by your mentor.
