MENTOR MONTH
The Magner Career Center is hosting Mentor Month in April. We have alumni and employers from various companies such as KPMG, PwC, Google, Bloomberg, SiriusXM, the Department of Education and more who are ready to provide valuable career advice. We have mentors across a variety of sectors such as Accounting, Finance, Law, Marketing, Medical, Entertainment, Education and many more.
As part of this mentor initiative, a small group of students will be able to meet with alumni for either a coffee chat, lunch or company visit/job shadowing. This initiative will be taking place throughout April so please register by Friday, March 21st at 5pm.
Interested in Participating? Please complete the following: https://forms.office.com/r/bQcYcMisN7 to indicate who you would like to meet with. Keep in mind, this is not a first come, first serve basis, students will be selected based on their responses to the form, their availability as well as available spots. In addition, if spots become filled, we will add students to our waiting list.
Here is a direct link to the alumni/employer availability spreadsheet: https://tinyurl.com/bcmentorlist. We are adding more and more alumni each day.
