College of Earth and Mineral Sciences (EMS) undergraduates do you want to learn about career paths, professional fields, and educational options from alumni working in your field of interest? If yes, the EMS Mentoring Program is for you. The Mentoring Program was created to help our undergraduates succeed, prepare them for their professional careers, and become active EMS alumni. The program allows students to explore topics like internships, career planning, college to career transition, and leadership development with an alumni mentor. EMS has students and alumni from a wide range of backgrounds, experiences, talents and interests. The program leverages this diversity, and provides students with a broader perspective on career choices by pairing them with mentors that complement their interest, discipline/major, and professional aspirations.
