CUBS – Mentorship Program for Students

Mentorship Program for Students: The CUBS program’s mission is to motivate, empower, and encourage WSU Tri-Cities Carson College of Business students through mentoring and social networking opportunities.

Mentors inspire, encourage, and support you, and contribute to your professional and personal development. You can expect to strengthen and build your network, and gain the skills and confidence necessary to excel.

I had the opportunity to mentor an undergrad through her transition from part-time to a certified full-time student. There were a lot of moving parts to this transition including relocating the Tri-Cities and changing her income source. She is a very bright and talented individual, but it was clearly a stressful time for her. Helping her organize her thoughts and find clarity was all she needed, and I believe set her up for success. I am thrilled to have been a small part of it. – Paul Carlisle
