Lauryn

As a first-generation student at the University of Washington Bothell, the opportunity to be in such close proximity to influential leaders that are open to fostering my potential has been extremely impactful. Mentorship EDGE has empowered me to foster meaningful relationships and has brought opportunities I would’ve never thought was possible.

Cindy

Before Mentorship EDGE, I was unsure what to do after college. Mentorship EDGE introduced me to marketing leaders that helped me apply to jobs correctly. Mentorship EDGE connected me with people and an opportunity to apply to a job at my dream company. I am now an Account Development Representative at Auth0. I am honored to have been a part of this program.

Mentor Testimonials

One of the most rewarding experiences of my career. I learned more from my mentees than they learned from me. It was amazing to dig in and help them navigate some highs and lows, some difficult personal and professional decisions and ultimately they both accepted “dream” jobs. I was blessed to have them come into my life and they impacted me for the better far more than I could have ever done for them. Mentorship Edge is something that I would HIGHLY RECOMMEND everyone that can be a part of it, that they take the chance to join the community of mentors and mentees. A huge fan!!

Mark

As a graduate from University of Washington –Bothell (’98), I’m amazed at what the school has grown to. Reconnecting with The School of Business was simply a way to give back to an institution that provide me with so much. The Mentorship EDGE program gave me an introduction to several great students and provided me with the ability to get to know them personally and professionally. Ultimately, it lead to me hiring one of my mentees…and things are going great. The Mentorship EDGE program is a great way to connect the business leaders of today with the business leaders of tomorrow.
