The transition from a lifetime of schooling to a lifetime of work isn’t easy. Spending time with a personal mentor allows students to receive valuable advice about what to expect in the workplace, how to prepare academically for a new career, and how their education will apply in the “real world.” Plus, mentoring gets students started on building a network of business connections that is so essential for developing a successful career. – Gary Spanner
