During each full-time student's freshman year, we begin to pair them with a business mentor. Together they network at professional events and mixers, and visit businesses and organizations related to their fields of study. Throughout their education at HU, the mentors guide the students, simultaneously building their confidence and their contacts.
Become a Mentor!
You can make an impact on a student’s life by becoming a mentor. Mentors serve as guides to students, answering questions, giving advice, and helping them to learn more about their field of interest and about themselves. We strive to match you with a student whose interests closely match your professional experience. We hold Mentor Mixers each semester where you will have the opportunity to meet our students, learn more about the mentoring program, and work with your protégé to develop goals.
