1. Making Connections with Mentors: How to Fast-Track Your Career Today!

  • Time: Wednesday, April 2, 12:00-1:00 PM
  • Location: Gunness Student Center, Marcus Hall
  • Guest Speaker: Paula Simmons, MassDOT Project Manager, P.E.

Making a connection is easy but making a good connection is hard. Who’s a good connection? Who’s pulling for you? Who’s got your back? Who’s putting your hat in the ring? Odds are these people are your mentors – senior level professionals who believe in your potential and are willing to advocate you for that next promotion. Mentors can build your self-esteem and provide a sounding board. Good connections with mentors are your ticket to the top.

Free to all students. Wings and Subs will be provided. Seats are limited and registration is required.
