Consider Being a Mentor with the Mentoring Project

Launched in Fall 2021, the Mentoring Project is designed for sophomore and junior first-generation students in the Cofrin School of Business. It’s a means to help them be successful during college and prepare for their future careers. The program has expanded to include students in computer Science, Health Information Management Technology (HIMT), Human Biology, and Public & Environmental Affairs, and we hope to continue growing in future years.

This is an opportunity for alumni and area business professionals to connect with UW-Green Bay students in meaningful ways without the large commitment of forming an internship program at their company. Students can also connect with mentors from small businesses and career fields without internship positions that could otherwise be difficult environments to find connections and form relationships. Professionals in the community are paired with UW-Green Bay students for mentorship throughout the academic year. The only qualification for mentors is to have a bachelor’s degree, and a genuine interest connecting with a current student(s) and help them grow.
