“Mentorship is a professional, working alliance in which individuals work together over time to support the personal and professional growth, development, and success of the relational partners through the provision of career and psychosocial support.”
-National Academies of Sciences, Engineering, and Medicine, 2019.
The College of Science, Technology, Engineering, and Mathematics (CSTEM) is proud to announce the launch of a mentoring program designed to engage undergraduate students with STEM industry professionals. Our goal is to connect mentor’s representative of the wide range of professions and companies from our region with student mentees. Volunteer mentors serve as coaches to develop the talent of our diverse students in expanding their networks and maximize their readiness to meet their STEM career goals.
Our goal is to launch the program in Fall 2021. We are currently gathering information from potential student mentees and professional mentors.
