MENTOR PROGRAM
The mentor program provides opportunities for Manhattan College students to gain insight into their intended careers by being paired with professionals, generally Manhattan College alumni, in those career areas. Students grow educationally, personally and professionally as they learn about their career responsibilities and employment options within their chosen field.
The program is open to incoming freshmen in the School of engineering and to sophomores and juniors in the Schools of Arts, Business, Education & Health and Science during the participating academic year. Students must apply for the mentor program. Once accepted into the program, students must attend an information session before they are assigned a mentor.
Students will have the opportunity to meet with their mentors at a meet-and-greet event in the fall and at a dinner event in the spring, and they will arrange to get together at other times throughout the academic year.
Some of the activities students do with their mentor include:
- Spending the day shadowing the mentor or other employees in the workplace
- Attending an employee training meeting
- Visiting a work site
- Attending a professional meeting together
- Listening in on company committee meetings
- Having lunch together
- Touring the company
- Participating in professional development workshops
- Working on a special project at the company
