Mentor Program

About the Mentor Program

The mission of the Goizueta Mentor Program is to foster an exchange of ideas, friendship and expertise between students and alumni. This successful program matches students with experienced professionals for career and life guidance and development, while offering alumni an opportunity to strengthen ties to Goizueta Business School. In addition to the relationship between mentor and protégé, there are also events throughout the school year to meet other alumni, professors and students.

How It works

Students and alumni complete an online application about interests and professional experience, which is then used to match alumni mentors with students. The program begins with an annual kick-off event where protégés and mentors are introduced to each other. Then, over the course of the school year, each pair spends time together regularly to talk, ask questions, share advice and more.

E-Mentoring

You don't have to live in Atlanta to mentor a Goizueta student. Because many students hope to work outside of the Atlanta area upon graduation, our e-mentoring program puts experienced Goizueta alumni throughout the world in contact with students through phone and email.

Program Guidelines

Mentors and protégés should talk, email or meet at least once a month to get advice, direction and wisdom for life. Mentor and protégé should schedule these interactions based on their own personal calendars. This can occur at Mentor Program events, Goizueta events, Emory-wide functions or scheduled independently.

Mentors can also invite protégés to work, providing an inside look at your company and the role you play. Protégés may consider taking their mentor to a class, but should request faculty permission first.
