The Werth Institute for Entrepreneurship & Innovation's NetWerx program is a mentorship/networking program targeted to first-year and sophomore students. This program connects current UConn students “virtually” to an alum, typically who graduated less than 15 years ago, for a series of five 30-minute sessions scheduled by you.
Alumni mentors have backgrounds in a wide array of areas including technology, marketing, engineering, and business. They are passionate about helping students build their self-confidence and discover the versatility of entrepreneurship...it’s more than just starting a business!
In order to be matched mentees are required to attend one of the following orientation sessions:
- Wednesday, March 2nd at 4 PM
- Friday, March 4th at 12 PM
