The Process

Mentors and mentees are required to complete a profile on the Enginuity Network online platform. Profiles will their major, industry, demographic information, and career history and interests. Mentees will then select the mentor who best matches their current and future professional goals and request to work with that mentor. If the mentor accepts their request, the mentor and mentee can then get in touch via the matching platform. In their first meeting, the mentor and mentee are expected to decide on how they will communicate with one another during the semester, and both parties’ objectives, so that mentors and mentees understand the other’s needs and expectations for the relationship. 

The program is designed to be flexible for busy alumni mentors and mentees. Mentors and mentees have complete control over the mentorship relationship and can decide how the relationship will work. 

Next Steps

4. Review the resources page to help facilitate relationship-building. 
5. Meet at least 3 times either remotely or in person during the semester.
