Mentorship is a critical element of success in the career journey of many leaders. So how can mentorship facilitate learning and transformation during business school so that an MBA student can achieve their unique goals? 

Founded over a decade ago, the Executive Connections Program at the ASU W.P Carey Business School was designed to provide MBA students with relationships, knowledge, and confidence personalized to their unique career goals 

In this episode, you’ll hear from Jenny Tang (Mentee)) Amy Hillman, (Professor, and Program Director) and Anna Thomasson (Mentor) as they dive into the Executive Connections program at the Arizona State University W.P Carey MBA Program, and how specifically it helps MBA students as they navigate through their MBA experience and beyond.

Throughout the conversation, Amy, shared her perspective as the Program Director of how the program is designed to help a student navigate to achieve their goals, while Jenny (a former student) shared her own experience of her mentor relationship with Anna (an Executive in Residence) and how it helped Jenny throughout her time in business school and even now as an MBA graduate.
