Mentor the next class of Tauber students
The 2021 Alumni-Student Mentorship Program will be kicking off soon! Watch for an email in January with information on how to participate, or reach out to Admissions & Student Experience Manager Cari Ceo with questions.
"I've found the cross-functional training at Tauber to be invaluable in collaborating with business partners across all types of teams. The broad perspective from Tauber helps break down barriers, increase understanding, and build more effective solutions."

Jaime McPherson (BSE-ME / MSE- MEng MFG '95) is Director of Engineering, Research & Development at La-Z-Boy, where he leads multiple teams developing and improving new products. He advises students to build strong relationships and to never "waste a good crisis."
