Pilot Broadview Mentor Program: Medical, Healthcare, or Science Fields

Become a role model and boost the confidence of a current student! Share your experiences with someone who is looking for support about making good decisions in school, starting a career, and developing social skills.

A pilot Broadview Mentor Program via a mentoring/networking online platform (Firsthand.com offered through the Career Development Center & Alumni Relations) is being formed to connect Broadview residents who have worked in the medical, health care, psychology, or science fields with current students for one-on-one conversations about careers, academic, internships, work, life experiences, and more. Purchase students can investigate and explore their career interests in conversations and connections with a growing Broadview network—offering an insider’s view to potential academic, professional, and career options.

The mentor-mentee relationship is about career professionals offering friendly guidance and encouragement to an up-and-coming generation. It’s based on mutual respect and openness. It’s a two-way street — mentors often say they learn as much as they teach while making a difference in the lives of young professionals.
