"The gold standard for mentoring initiatives"
Council for Advancement and Support of Education
Marquette Mentors, the mentor program of the Marquette University Alumni Association, emerged ten years ago as a pilot to meet a significant and increasing demand for students to gain career insights from alumni across the globe. Today, this high-touch, 1:1 and goals-driven initiative has served more than 1,200 student mentees by matching current students and Marquette alumni based upon college, major and career interest.
+ Application Tips
Take your time when completing the application. One suggestion is to copy and save the application questions, complete in a Word document and then paste your response in the appropriate question when you’re ready to submit it via the registration link.
Be thoughtful when completing the application, specifically with the questions requesting your program goals if selected and why you’d like to be considered as a mentee. What separates you from other candidates? How would you benefit from a mentor? Share your story and limit the response to a maximum of two paragraphs where noted.
