Mentorship

Mentorship Directors connect members with professional and student mentors who help them navigate through the recruiting process. They reach out to professionals from all types of firms to have mentors to eventually pair-up with mentees. Furthermore, Mentorship Directors organize and host Mentorship Mixers that allow mentors and mentees to interact and network in a fun and social environment. The directors will be working on different ways, both virtual and in-person, to make the Mentorship program engaging and interactive that will help students enlarge their professional network and connect with their peers.

Student Activities

Student activities directors plan and host fun events for members to socialize and relax after a stressful time (i.e., MTF, midterms, finals, or the recruiting process). They work hard to provide our members with opportunities to connect with their peers and make memories outside of their classes. Their primary duties are to brainstorm event/activity ideas, then to plan, execute and host these meetings. They are responsible for running the events as smoothly as possible, making sure everything is prepared, and ensuring that all guests are having a good time.
