7th Annual Mentor Match-Up

The learning curve is steep, the key commands are complex, the page count is long; that is why you are here.

Mentor Matchup is a three-month mentoring program designed to cultivate the career growth and professional success of emerging designers. Mentors and mentees will come together and work hand-in-hand to identify the mentee’s career goals and aspirations. Then, over the next three months, mentors will provide advice and guidance as they show their mentees the ropes.

Potential Mentees: (priority given to first time participants)
Do you wish you had some insight into what design professionals think of your work? Ever wonder what a “real” design firm looks like? Are you curious what you’ll actually be doing when you graduate? How do projects come to life? Is it magic?

Potential Mentors:
Do you remember all the mistakes you made when you first graduated? Ever wish you were back in design school and you had a semester to complete your projects? Do you want to share with college students/recent graduates what the real world is like?

Now accepting applications for mentors (Professionals) and mentees (Student Members and Associate Members) for Fall 2016-2017. Once mentors and mentees have applied, our board will match you based on your interests and desired career path. At this kickoff event, you’ll meet your mentor/mentee, hear great ideas for how to start your partnership and the specifics of the program itself. Attendance is mandatory.
