PEER GUIDE MENTORSHIP PROGRAM
The Peer
Guide Mentorship Program provides individual professional development support
to students by connecting participants with a Peer Guide. Peer Guides are encouraging new
undergraduate business students who are interested in receiving individual career
support and guidance to apply to the Peer Guide Mentorship Program for the Fall
2023 semester. Peer Guides are striving to connect with new students,
especially underrepresented students (students of color, first-generation, low
socioeconomic status). Each Peer Guide Mentor discusses career resources
and shares their own experiences with navigating internships, career
exploration, networking, and getting involved on campus. The program is a
one-semester commitment and is individually designed to support students around
their goals.
If you are interested in being a mentee,
