 Since graduation, I've stayed connected to the School of Industrial Engineering, and they created a pilot program for mentoring. And this really appealed to me because it gave me an opportunity to stay connected to the school, stay connected to students, and give back some career advice. The School of Industrial Engineering paired me with a student who is a senior. Her name is Grace. We met back in September for the first time face to face when I was on campus. Each week we have a focus topic that we talk about where it provides an opportunity for Grace to ask questions, and for me in the role of mentor to share some of the lessons learned along the way in my career. It sheds light on a lot of topics that I'd never really thought about before. Even today we kind of talked about finding mentors, and so every mentor that I've had thus far has been set up for me through a company, through the Industrial Engineering program here, and so things like that where you never think about, oh how do I go find a mentor, does it need to be an official start to our mentorship, or other things like work-life balance, or just the industry in general. It really sheds light on a lot of topics that you don't think about as a college student, and allows you to think forward into these these challenges that you might face once you start your full-time job. It gives me an opportunity to pay it forward, right, so to help someone else have a successful career. I love that it's allowed me to virtually connect, but to to stay in touch with what's happening. So as part of our mentoring sessions, Grace always fills me in on when's homecoming, when the finals are happening, so I almost feel that I'm back on campus, and I really like that. I would definitely say especially you know if you're a student with the School of IE, or you know whatever your major is, if they offer a mentorship program I strongly recommend it. At first, the application seemed like just more work to give myself, but it has given me so much more perspective on things moving into my career next year, and really is a great way to kind of sum up my senior year, and make sure that I'm prepared thinking about things, and we have very enjoyable conversations. It's not like it's it's work, I get there and I get to ask her all the questions that are on my mind, and so for me it's been it's been an awesome time, and I've really enjoyed it.
