CoLA has launched a website featuring our pilot Professional Mentoring Program that began this Spring semester. This program links junior and senior liberal arts students with mentors who will assist them in making the transition from their college experience into the professional world. These one-on-one mentoring relationships allow for individual attention to students' career aspirations, professional development, and networking needs. CoLA is currently recruiting students who would like to participate in this mentoring program when it recommences in the fall. Please encourage eligible students to apply by the April 20 deadline. Applications are available online or in the CoLA Dean's Office or Advising Office.
