Mentor for a Moment

This is a new program that aims to connect sales students in a Price Analytcis and Financial Analysis class to professionals in the industry that have experience (directly or indirectly) with pricing and/or experience with data analytics. 

The most current and specific information about a career field often may not be available online, and the best information comes from people who are actually working in that career field. A flash mentor (or informational interview) is an informal conversation students can have with someone working in an area of interest to them. It is not a job interview, and the objective is not to find job openings. It is truly informational and a chance for professionals to reflect on their path and give advice to students. 

Your commitment is minimal, hence mentor for a MOMENT. Students will submit their top 3 choices for professionals (that’s you) and we (the Career Management Center) will match you. 

The deadline to sign up is Friday, March 18, 2022. We will open student matching on Tuesday, March 22. Students will have the rest of that week to submit their preferences on the professional they would like to be paired with. You will receive your student match via email from Patti.Chapman@colostate.edu no later than Friday, March 25. 

We ask that you find one hour between Monday, March 28, and Thursday, April 7 to connect with your student. The “assignment” students will reflect on your conversation and turn into their professor by Friday, April 8. 

Please submit your information in the form below. The information you submit will be posted to our student-facing page but we will not display your contact information. If/when a student requests you, our office will email introduce you both. 

If you have any questions or concerns, please email Patti at Patti.Chapman@colostate.edu. Thanks!
