PSU SCHOOL OF BUSINESS CAREER MENTOR PROGRAM

What are the basic expectations of the PSU Career Mentor Program:

1. Each undergraduate or graduate student will be matched with a Career Mentor in November 2023 based on details from their application such as degree, career goals, professional experience, and/or identity

2. Mentee and Mentor will be notified in early January about their designated Mentor/Mentee and both will attend the Mentor Kick-Off Event on  November 7th from 5:30-7:00pm

3. Mentor and Mentee will agree upon a regular meeting time and process, meeting in-person, virtually or over the phone at least once a month between November 2023 - August 2024

4. The Career Mentor Program will provide resources and troubleshoot any issues that come up throughout the year. To receive support, respond to the quarterly surveys or contact Allen directly: allen.thayer@pdx.edu
