MENTORSHIP PROGRAM

​The Mentorship Program offers a level of engagement and member development designed to be a mutually beneficial experience for mentors and mentees. This is a virtual commitment with the option of meeting in person. Mentors will share their experiences, knowledge, and interests and watch mentees grow and meet the challenges of navigating their public health career. ​

This seven-month program is designed for undergraduate students, graduate students, and early career professionals (one to three years). The program starts in October and ends with a celebration in early May. The mentorship program allows experienced public health professionals to impact public health mentees' career and professional development positively. Students and early career professionals will have the opportunity to network and explore a variety of public health careers.
