Business Mentor Program
About the Program
The FAU Business Mentoring Program is designed to bring together students and business
professionals that share common professional interests. This mentoring relationship
will enable business students to be better equipped as they explore varied career
paths and assist them as they navigate those early years of professional life. The
mentor will benefit from encouraging and challenging their mentee to think about their
future and prepare for professional life. The Business Mentor Program is formally begins
in the Fall and continues through the Spring semester.
The upcoming session will be September 2021 - April 2022 and will be a hybrid incorporating
virtual and inperson components.
Get Involved!
If you are an experienced professional that wants to help FAU Business students develop
their goals and professional skills, then apply to be an FAU Business Mentor below.
As a mentor, you will have the opportunity to share your wisdom and experiences, evolve
your own thinking, develop a new relationship, and inspire future generations. Once
you apply, the College of Business Professional Development team will contact you
for an interview and background check. We match student mentees and business mentors
based on career aspirations, areas of expertise, and interests. Mentors are expected
to meet individually with student mentees at least one hour per month and attend the
four group events. Click below to contact Michael Thomas and mentor a business student.
The BMP runs annually (starting in the fall) for FAU Business juniors, seniors, and
graduate students that would like to connect and learn from business professionals.
Students must apply, excel academically (3.0+) and be dedicated to their professional
development. There is an expectation to engage with your mentor on a regular basis
to ensure the mentorship grows and benefits both the student and the professional.
