5 Quick Tips for Finding a Mentor

Mentorship Events:  These events are designed to connect mentors and mentees.  You may or may not find your mentor at one of these mentorship events.

Your Network: Ask the people in your network if they might be willing to serve as your mentor.  

Beyond Your Network: Again look to the people in your network.  Ask if they know someone in your field who might be interested in a mentorship.

Colleagues: Reach out to a colleague whose achievements mirror your ambitions.

Young Alumni: Young alumni are great mentors.  They have been just where you are now, just a short while ago.
