The School of Business' Multicultural Mentoring program serves as an avenue for connecting junior and senior multicultural business students who are admitted to their major with business professionals. These business professionals in the community will serve as mentors to the students providing knowledge, in-depth experience, support and advice.

The Mentoring Process The student should complete a Protégé Application, which can be obtained from the Undergraduate Student Services office in Lubar Hall N297.

The Multicultural Program Coordinator matches the protégé with a professional mentor from their specific field of study.

The student and her/his mentor will meet informally at least twice a semester on various topics pertaining to the student’s interest.

Student and mentor will be periodically invited to special programs targeting the protégé/mentor relationship.

Targeted Population The Multicultural Mentoring program is looking for enthusiastic and proactive juniors and seniors. Protégés are expected to show interest in exploring career options, seeking guidance and developing a network base within the professional community.

Benefits

• A mentor who has experience in the student’s field of study
• One on one career guidance and exploration
• A valuable relationship with professionals in the community
• Increased networking opportunities
• Reinforced academic and professional skills
