Mentorship Week
Mentorship Week (co-sponsored by the Office of Career Services and Alumni Engagement) started as a single Mentorship Day in 2018 within the Shields School of Business, and now has expanded university wide.
The event is typically held the week leading up to Homecoming Weekend. From field-specific sessions to cross-disciplinary events, students can find mentors and enhance their student experience.
