 Mentors and mentees chatting at the Graduate School of Business |
Apply for the SPBA GSB Mentorship ProgramWhat is the Stanford Pre-Business Association mentorship program? SPBA organizes one of the most popular mentorship programs on campus. The program is a platform that connects undergraduates and GSB students and serves as a foundation for career and interest networks between them. The program matches undergraduates with GSB students willing to act as mentors to the undergraduates and give them advice about business related careers and business school. In order to ensure quality mentoring relationships, we try our best to match participants with similar interests and to maintain a low mentee-to-mentor ratio. We hold regular informal gatherings (1-2 per quarter) and encourage individual meetings with your mentors throughout the year. |
