Industry mentors
Mentorship fosters leadership. The Industry Mentor Program was born from a sense of responsibility to nurture the next generation of highly competent and socially responsible engineers. Wayne State University students begin to understand the connection between academics and career outcomes by forming relationships with College of Engineering alumni. Mentors share information about their own career paths and provide guidance, motivation, and emotional support. They help with setting goals and developing a network of contacts, while also providing students with role models in the professional world. The Industry Mentor Program gives students and alumni a vision for the future.
Contact Patti Wojtowicz if you have any questions.
