Student mentee “speed-networking” with mentors.
The Quinnipiac School of Business Mentorship Program, lead by Grace Peiffer, Director of Employer Relations, held their annual Networking Event at the Rocky Top Student Center.
The mentors and mentees took part in a “speed networking” session, in which the mentors answered a series of questions aimed to help the mentees gather a better perspective on their careers. Each mentor gave their own account of their careers and how the decisions that they made impacted their success.
The Ambassadors of the 2013-2014 Program set up the mentees to learn different key factors for success, such as patience and persistence. The younger mentors, who have had experience in searching for jobs in the current market, resonated the same advice that the older mentors had, showing that many of the same traditional factors are still relevant today. After the speed networking session, everyone shared a meal. As Ambassadors to the program, many have gone through this networking event previously, and this year it was unanimously claimed to be better. As Grace stated, “It’s safe to say that this program will only grow exponentially, as the mentors and mentees for each year have had great experiences and received career advice that could only be experienced through years of being in the field.”
