What is your role as a Mentor at Archer Edge @ DePaul
The Archer Edge Fellows @ DePaul program connects undergraduate students with professionals who are willing to share their experiences, career insights, and encouragement during one of the most important stages of a student’s professional journey — their first internship experience.
As a mentor, you are not expected to share your perspective, and help students build confidence as they navigate professional growth, teamwork, communication, and career exploration.
Many students entering this program are navigating their first professional experience, and even a few conversations with someone in the field can make a lasting impact on their confidence, motivation, and future career direction.
