The Engineering Mentorship Program matches students and alumni in yearlong one-to-one mentoring pairs. The goal of the Program is to provide students with additional support in identifying and pursuing their career goals through professional networking with experienced Cooper Union alumni. We believe that engineering students have much to gain from the professional expertise and life experiences of engineering alumni and we encourage you to participate in this worthwhile program!
