"It was a pleasure meeting with my mentor. I appreciate the time that she had taken from her busy schedule to sit down and meet with me. I am grateful for the insight that she gave me into the finance field and for sharing her experiences with me. Once again, thank you for starting this program. It was extremely helpful." Matthew Weksler '16

 

"During the power breakfast my senior year, I spoke with Avery Landau '13 who is in the music business at Atlantic Records. I ended up interning for him and using him as a mentor throughout my music career. He has seen me go from an intern to a full A&R consultant and artist manager. If it wasn't for this power breakfast, I don't know where I would be." Lamaar Jaswal '18

 

"I met with my mentee and had a great conversation over coffee. He just shared his new short film script with me and I gave him some notes as well and may be able to get him some work in film on his off-time from school. Thanks for matching us up through the career mentor program. I think it'll be a good experience for both of us." Mark Stetson '02
