Connect with a Wavemakers Mentor
Each semester, we ask our mentors if they’d be available and interested in connecting with students outside of regular sessions. To explore the mentors available this semester, visit our Mentor Profiles webpage. Each profile includes information about the mentor’s experience and areas of expertise, along with a link to their LinkedIn profile.
If someone’s experience interests you, send them a personalized LinkedIn message to introduce yourself and start a conversation. Depending on what works best for you and the mentor, you could:
Arrange a live 1:1 meeting
