Bronco Mentoring Program
Frequently Asked Questions (FAQs) About the Program
Students initiate the mentoring process. Students are able to search alumni based on industry, employer, major, and special interest. Once a student has found a match, they will request mentorship from the alumni. Alumni are able to decide whether they accept the request for mentorship. Alumni are able to set the maximum number of mentees they are willing to have. Please be professional, courteous and inquisitive!
Yes! Given the size and participation of our Bronco Network, we're lucky enough to have many mentors that have chosen to offer their time to share their stories with more than one student.
