The Mentorship Roundtable is a unique opportunity to connect directly with experienced entrepreneurs, professionals, and community leaders in a small-group, conversation-based setting. This event is designed for students who want honest advice, real perspective, and meaningful connections, whether you’re exploring career options, thinking about entrepreneurship, building or growing a venture, or figuring out what comes next after college.
During the event, students rotate through roundtable discussions with different mentors, giving you the chance to ask questions, hear personal stories, and learn from people who have navigated career decisions, challenges, and opportunities of their own. Conversations are informal and practical, focused on real experiences rather than polished presentations.
Students who have attended past Mentorship Roundtables have shared that the experience helped them gain clarity, confidence, and new ways of thinking about their goals. Many walked away with actionable advice, new contacts, and a better understanding of the paths available to them after graduation.
This semester’s Mentorship Roundtable will take place on Wednesday, March 11, 2026, from 5:00 to 7:00 p.m. in the Henrickson Family Atrium at Hawks Hall. Space is limited to ensure quality conversations, so advance registration is required.
If you’re looking for guidance, perspective, or simply a chance to learn from people who have been where you are now, the Mentorship Roundtable is a valuable way to invest a couple hours in your future.
