“Mentorship is an opportunity to share knowledge, experience and appreciation with another individual. It is a mutual experience and that is exactly what COMPASS did. I enjoyed my time with my mentee; learning about [their] hobbies, passions, and hopes for the future.”
“It was a great way to get involved, not only with MSU Denver students, but with my colleagues. I actually met a couple people I had never had a chance to connect with before this opportunity.”
"The COMPASS program has helped me by opening small doors to the career that I want to follow. My mentor has supported me by offering me different perspectives of her work industry and giving me ideas on possible jobs that I can begin working as a college student. I am very thankful for this program due to the opportunity that I have."
Mentoring is a partnership in which one individual guides, nurtures, and supports the academic, personal, or professional development and growth of another individual.
This program is flexible and can be tailored to fit your schedule. However, you must complete our program requirements to receive the program incentive. We estimate about 6 hours of commitment over the span of the year.
Even if you don’t know what career you’re interested in, you can benefit from COMPASS. Our mentors and staff can help you narrow down your career interests.
