Mentees will have a chance to partner with mentors who provide them with opportunities for experience, exposure, guidance and career development. The mentors are advertising, marketing and public relations professionals who volunteer their time once a month to meet with students and provide academic and professional guidance.
The program is designed to match each mentee with a mentor and aimed at providing professional mentorship to ethnic minority undergraduate students, graduate students and young professionals in the fields of advertising, marketing, and public relations. The goal throughout the program is to create positive relationships with students and allow them access to professional networks of information and programming, which include mentor/mentee one-on-ones, career development workshops, and employee engagement.
As a result of the mentor program, students will be much better prepared to overcome the challenges of entering the workforce and succeeding in the fields of advertising, marketing or public relations.
Mentors and mentees will connect virtually and/or in person. Mentors will provide guidance and answers to questions to recipients as it relates to their career goals. This will allow each recipient to establish a trusting relationship with their mentor, who will help develop networking opportunities within the communications industry and serve as an on-going resource to the student.
