What’s a summer mentor? Summer mentors are Tippie alums and members or
past-members of the Tippie Young Alumni Board who reside in the city where you are interning over the summer
They serve as references and guides over the summer, helping you become acclimated to the area, providing professional advice, and serving as a resource
For more information about members of the Tippie Young Alumni Board, please visit our website: http://tippie.uiowa.edu/alumni/yab/
What does my summer mentor do? You should expect to be contacted by your mentor
as the summer starts and to meet with him or her a couple of times during your internship. Your mentor may also keep in contact with you as you head back to school and begin your full-time job search
In the end, what you make of your summer mentor is up to you!
TIPPIE SUMMER MENTORS By the Tippie Young Alumni Board
What’s the deal?Why do I need a mentor? A summer mentor gives you instant access to the
Hawkeye community outside of Iowa City. Mentors can provide a wealth of wisdom related to your new location and help you make the transition from student to professional both during your internship and upon graduation
Mentors are your first link to the network in your professional field of interest
Mentors can be used as sounding boards because they were in your situation recently but are also members of the professional world with diverse real-world experiences they can use to answer your questions
It is great practice for networking, a very important business skill
What will it cost me? The summer mentor program is set up at no cost to
students and no cost to mentors. What this means, for example, is that a dinner out with your mentor would be a “Dutch treat” – you each are expected to pay for yourself unless you both decide otherwise
