College students are invited to join the fifth year of the Younger Member Forum’s Mentoring Program. Mentoring groups will consist of three to four people: a college student(s), intermediate level professional mentor, and senior level professional mentor.
Participating in this program requires a 1.5 hour monthly commitment from March 2019 to December 2019. The kickoff event with all participants will be in March 2019, date and location TBD.
Each monthly meeting will feature a topic, i.e., getting feedback on LinkedIn profiles and resumes, work-life balance, etc. Each quarter, we will gather all of the mentoring groups together at Program Meetings for refreshments and networking.
New for 2019:
•The Mentor Committee has partner with others at the ASCE Met Section Younger Member Forum to offer new engagement events at local high schools to this year’s participants.
•The Mentor Committee has adopted a push to increase the availability of open spots in the program due to demand in recent years.
•This year, we will be offering select social events alongside our normal quarterly Program Meetings.
•We will also commend all participants at the program close with certificate for their time.
•The Younger Member Forum will also promote the program to our members on social media, newsletters and through sharing audio of our discussions.
