Rising Leaders Mentorship Program

What is the mentorship program?
Women in Leadership is so excited to introduce the Rising Leadership Mentorship Program to all of our members! We are dedicated to connecting students together to utilize the resources provided at UCI and cultivate a mentor-mentee relationship that will help you build your professional and social skills. The WIL mentors are comprised of undergrad and graduate students from UCI who will guide you on how to become a successful leader, share with you some tips and personal experiences, and support you through your academic or career goals.
Who are my mentors?
The peer mentors are students with varying majors whereas our MBA students are Business Administration graduate students. A mentee can choose either a peer mentor or MBA mentor according to their preference and the type of relationship they are looking for. Our mentors have a wide variety of experiences, both personal and professional that they are willing to share with you. Many of our MBA mentors are well established leaders in their fields who can provide you with tips on how to be a successful leader in the future!
