Confirmed but Unregistered Mentors In addition to the registered mentors, we have a few more mentors who have confirmed, verbally or in writing, to participate in the Career Conference 2017. However, they have yet completed the mentor registration process as of the date of last update shown on the first slide. As such, we currently do not have the detailed information about their academic and professional backgrounds, similar to those of the registered mentors shown on the previous slides. These mentors represent the following professions or industries:

Dentistry

Business: Finance

The Conference Organizing Committee is still in the process of recruiting mentors in a few additional professions or industries. Upon completion of this process, the Committee will send the final list of registered mentors and their bio, along with the Conference itinerary and brochure, to all registered students via email. Stay tuned!
