“The executive mentor program has incredibly benefited me as I grow in my career. As a young professional, I have learned many practical tools for developing in my career. I have also been able to share the season of life that I am in with my mentor as I am preparing to graduate from the MBA program, move, and get married. Not only has my mentor given me great professional advice but also tremendous personal advice as I learn to balance all of this. The program has been beneficial and low-stress. While it is a commitment to participate, I appreciate the mentee-led approach, which allowed me to share the areas in which I need support and also allowed us to plan around our schedules. The program has been incredibly beneficial without being burdensome.”
