The goal of the Gramling Mentorship Program is to create an experience where undergraduates and graduates learn how to engage in meaningful mentorship relationships. Students will learn the value of investing in others and how that can lead to lifelong partnerships, friendships, and successes.

• Earn academic credit (1 credit) while being mentored by a School of Business Graduate Student.
• Connect with a Mentor that is assigned based on your field/industry of interest.
• Invest in your personal and professional growth.
• Widen your professional network.
• Explore professional pathways in business with the guidance of a graduate student mentor in a School of Business graduate program.

Students are provided with a mentee workshop so they understand how to approach their mentor relationship and make the most of it. We accept preferences from students on who they would like to be paired with and work hard to accommodate those requests.

Undergraduate students can learn more, view a sample syllabus, and sign up below!

“Overall, my experience having a mentor relationship with Morgan was incredibly positive, and I am very fortunate to have a mentor who takes genuine interest in my goals and is always willing to lend a helping hand. I would also like to note that the workshop held at the beginning of the semester did an excellent job of building a framework for this relationship and best practices for being a good mentee. I would highly recommend this program to any students looking for a positive mentor relationship in the future!”
