You will meet with a limited number of mentees in 10‐minute time slots each. When directed, mentees will proceed to their mentor’s table. At the start and end of each Speed Mentoring round, a bell will ring. Mentees will then proceed to the next mentor table. There will be two minutes to switch and prepare for the next round. Not all mentors will meet with all mentees. After a brief introduction, the mentee will give his/her elevator pitch. In general, mentees should share: Name, Major / Degree, Skills, Awards / Achievements, Successful projects, Career Aspirations, and Goals.
