ArtSci Mentorship Program

Please encourage your undergraduate students to participate in the Arts and Sciences Mentorship Program. It pairs students with professional mentors who understand their goals and share firsthand knowledge and experiences to help the students transition to professional life. Students should sign up by Mon., Sept. 4, to be onboarded in time for the Sept. 11 start. It runs through early December.

To participate, students should “join” WildcatLink using their K-State eID and then request membership in the ArtSci Mentorship Program. After approval, they’ll receive email communication through the WildcatLink platform.

We need mentors! Please consider joining as a mentor. Follow the same process, except apply to be a mentor. Mentors are asked to meet with their mentees at least once a month (4 times total). Mentees will be at different stages of career readiness, from first-year students through seniors.

For more info, email program coordinator Zac Malcolm at malcoz@ksu.edu.
