NUPIP Mentorship

Each NUPIP fellow is paired with one or two mentors for the duration of his/her fellowship, dedicated to providing fellows with guidance and advice throughout the first year on the job.Mentors prove to be valuable resources for young alumni, offering career guidance, networking opportunities, and meaningful friendship. We work carefully to match the interests of our fellows with those of their mentors, and every fellow-mentor relationship is unique.

See the NUPIP Mentoring Guide for more information, or contact the coordinators atnupip@northwestern.edu if you are interested in becoming a mentor.
