The WSU Engineering at Olympic College in Bremerton, is hosting an event to connect incoming Electrical Engineering and Mechanical Engineering students with a practicing engineer or person working in an engineering organization.
The goal for the evening is for every incoming WSU student to have an industry mentor. This is an ambitious goal given that we anticipate around 50 incoming students. Please consider being a mentor, and please ask others in your organization if they are interested in mentoring.
If you are Interested in becoming a mentor to a new WSU Bremerton Engineering Junior, please RSVP by June 15.
To assist in pairing mentors and students, please complete the short checklist found at this link: https://goo.gl/forms/VkFXmopLrKTHz9t33

What to expect at the kickoff meeting:
- Students and Mentors will be paired prior to the meeting

- Begin the mentoring relationship agreed upon.
- Mentoring relationship will last at least until December.
- We hope some relationships will continue well past the student’s graduation from WSU.
