MENTORING
Presented as part of the UBC2C NYC Symposium, mentors provide insightful advice on how to get a foot in the door in the creative or business sides of the arts, entertainment, and media industries at a special Sunday session. Mentors will work in small groups and in some cases one-on-one with students and young alumni, providing career advice, and answering industry related questions. Mentors provide honest feedback, encouragement, and advice in order for mentees to gain perspective on their career goals.
Become A Mentor
We invite you to join the growing community of alumni and friends of UB who care deeply about enriching the academic experiences of today’s students. You can be a part of UBC2C NYC by serving as a mentor, sharing your expertise in the creative or business sides of the arts, entertainment, and media industries, providing valuable and insightful advice to UB students and young alumni.
Mentees include University at Buffalo students, young alumni and friends, eager to learn directly from, and network with, professionals in the field. Mentees pre-register for specific mentoring sessions (so you’ll know who you’ll be mentoring before the event). The timed meetings (20 to 30 minutes) will focus on mentors answering questions, discussing career/educational paths, sharing tips on succeeding in the field, and sharing personal experiences.
The ideal outcome is that a C2C attendee will walk away from the mentoring session with a better understanding and appreciation for what it would take for them to succeed in their chosen field. Furthermore, mentors should have a sense of satisfaction in knowing that their experiences and knowledge in the field will guide someone on the path to success.
