via phone and email, and in person
whenever possible through face-toface
appointments. The mentors and mentees
will first meet at our Meet-and-Greet Session
prior to the beginning of an academic year.
This will help ensure mentees’ academic
success at BNU, as well as give them
invaluable access to the “insider” view of
the corporate structure.
