By taking part in the Mentor Program it has been nice and beneficial to meet with fellow Loyola Alum. The reason I guess this would be the most valuable and beneficial part of the experience is that as fellow students of Loyola they can inform us on what we should be doing while we are freshmen and where to start so that we do not prolong our goal to be successful in the business field, as well as tell us what we should be doing to get involved in our community. Also they have helped advise us with what we should do with our specific majors and how to make us stand apart from others so as to make us more valuable to the specific business field.
After taking part in the Mentoring Program for already a semester, my expectations did change a bit. My expectations at the beginning where a bit higher than what I have experienced over the course of the first semester, not saying that none have been met during this period of time, but I believe that my complete expectations were not met because seeing as we have only met about four times it is impossible for all of my expectations to be completely met, so I am sure and have no doubt that as the program continues that my expectations will surely be met and probably go beyond.
In regards with advising fellow peers at other universities with finding an executive mentor I definitely would recommend finding one. The reason being is that by having someone there advising you on what you should do in order to become successful in the business arena is definitely beneficial seeing as one is technically on their own in college and definitely could use guidance, especially from someone in that field of work which you are interested in, is definitely a great assistance and support system, not to mention providing one with beneficial advice.
For the next semester, in regards with the Executive Mentor Program, I am greatly looking forward to hopefully doing more hands on activities in regards with my major/field. Also possibly to meet people who are professionals in my field of work to see what they do, what their everyday to day job consists of, and to get some feed back as to what to do in order to set my self apart from the rest of the crowd. As for next semester at Loyola I am looking forward to keep on working and learning more and to strive ahead in order to get closer to specializing in my field/major. Also I really hope to get involved with a group at school, my main interest is to become a member of the Loyola International Business Organization, which I believe would be very beneficial for me since that is the major which I am currently declaring. And ultimately to keep enhancing myself as a student here at Loyola.
While we are all away during Christmas break it is going to be key for us business students to keep up with current business events in order to keep up and not get behind in the business world. So some helpful and useful sites for current business events are:
