Mentor Programs
Mentor Opportunities
Each mentor program is designed to provide Fisher students with opportunities to both learn from professionals, as well as give back to the Fisher community. All mentoring programs engage and enlighten undergraduate students from the perspective of someone with an understanding of Fisher and with more experience as a business student or working professional.
