The application deadline is 11/20, so be sure to join an info session to learn more about the program, requirements, and application!
​If selected, you’ll be matched with a mentor (based on preferences shared in your application) and will receive support through our Mentee Boot Camp to engage in self reflection and goal-setting to set you up for success, as well as ongoing support in group Mentee Connect sessions.
​Our mentors are all entrepreneurial women leaders, many with experience in startups or founding their own company. Open to graduate and undergraduate students (2nd year status & beyond), this program offers the opportunity to gain personalized guidance and career insights from women with a breadth and depth of experience across multiple industry backgrounds.
​This info session will be hosted virtually, and the zoom link will be provided to registered attendees.
