Mentorship Hub
Some lessons cannot be taught in a classroom but are learned through professional and real-world experiences. The Mentorship Hub bridges that gap by connecting students and recent graduates with experienced alumni and members of the AAU community. Mentors share the challenges, successes, and crossroads they have faced in their careers and offer valuable advice and insights into their fields..
There is no fixed commitment for either the mentor or the mentee, the goal is to create meaningful, flexible connections.
