The Business Chapter is seeking both mentors and mentees (students)!  Mentors may be either an alumni or non-alumni (a friend of the university) to participate in the mentor process. Our goal is to pair students with professionals that have the work experience that would meet the students' interests.  We want to make sure that the matches are a good fit, so pairing a student to mentor will depend on the pool of participants we have available at the time of your application. If you do not receive a match immediately, we will keep your information in our database for future matches..
