Mentoring Opportunities
- MentorNet
MentorNet's One-on-One E-Mentoring program focuses on pairing undergraduate students, graduate students, post doctoral fellows, and early career faculty—particularly those underrepresented in engineering, science, mathematics, and technology—with academic, industry and government professionals in eight-month-long, email-based mentoring relationships. Access to e-mentoring, as well as to MentorNet's active discussion forums and resume database, is free to all faculty and students at the University of Michigan.
- MEPO Mentoring Program
The primary goal of the MEPO Mentoring Program (MMP) is to support the personal and academic development and achievement of students in the College of Engineering. Students have the opportunity to help other students create better connections to the university community and its resources as well as have increasingly positive experiences in and outside of the classroom. Protégés benefit personally and professionally from the insight and guidance of the more experienced students serving as peer mentors. Benefits to the peer mentors include knowing they are making meaningful contributions to the personal and professional development of their peers while experiencing professional development themselves.The peer mentors are upperclassmen who help guide their protégés through the challenges of being an engineering student at Michigan. The protégés are new students in the College of Engineering. The roles of the peer mentors include promoting personal and professional development of their protégés, helping them to overcome challenges and celebrate their success.
