Business Peer Mentoring Program

Do you wish you had a person there to provide you with a supportive environment and share their knowledge and college experiences with you when you started college? You can be that person for someone else by becoming a Business Peer Mentor. 

The College of Business and Economics is launching the first Business Peer Mentoring program for Spring 2023. The purpose of this program is to help students engage in meaningful relationships with a peer mentor. The Business Peer Mentor facilitates activities (individual meetings and social events) that help their mentees increase their self-efficacy and resilience, strengthen their connection to the university and the college, and learn how to navigate resources.

Faculty Mentoring

Once you have declared your concentration, you are eligible to participate in the Faculty Mentoring Program. You will be assigned a faculty mentor for the upcoming semester and are expected to meet with your mentor. By meeting with your faculty mentor you will gain insight from experienced professionals, gain access to career path guidance, and discuss new industry trends. You can discuss topics like selecting the right electives for you, experiential learning courses, and how your courses can benefit your career goals.

When you receive an invitation to meet with your faculty mentor, it is important that you meet during the mentoring period.

The goals of the Faculty Mentoring program are:

  • To ensure your study plan aligns with your academic and career goals
  • To ensure you understand the success resources available to you, and to encourage you to be proactive in accessing those resources (e.g., business advising, career advising, tutoring)
  • To provide you with an opportunity to build relationships with peers and faculty to strengthen your social connections on campus.

The faculty from each discipline in Accounting, Economics, Finance, Information Systems, Management, and Marketing are excited to meet with you and are committed to your support, growth, and graduation. So get connected with your faculty mentor early by completing your lower-division business core requirements as soon as possible and declaring your concentration.
