Information for current and potential Cameron Executive Network (CEN) Mentors. CEN connects local professionals to CSB students as mentors and advisors.
CEN Mentor Application and Information
Qualified mentor applicants should:
- Provide an up-to-date résumé
- Have a minimum of 8 to 10 years of recent managerial or leadership experience in a business environment
- Have prior mentoring experience with employees and/or students
- Once matched, be willing to mentor student(s) until graduation
- Be able to meet with student(s) in person 1 to 2 times a month
Expectations
Each executive member who mentors a student is expected to work diligently to guide that student:
- To become a leader in their chosen career
- To live a fulfilling life and serve society
- To build a personal network to reach those goals.
As part of that work, each mentoring executive member is expected to:
- Attend the "mixer" for meeting and pairing with prospective students.
- Meet with your assigned student(s) within two weeks after the assignment is made.
- Meet with your assigned student(s) at least 1-2 times a month during the school year.
- Coach your student(s) in their efforts to meet the expectations for student members.
- If your assigned student has interests in subjects outside your expertise, lead your student to get the expertise needed by networking with other executive members or experts outside the Network.
- Guide your student in developing an effective job search plan and resume.
- Attend planned events of CEN and ensure your mentee is aware of CEN events.
Our expectation is for executive members to mentor a minimum of 1 undergraduate student during each school year.
Mock Interview Program (MIP)
Each semester CEN executives volunteer their time to conduct mock interviews with each BUS 206 (Business Essentials) student. This is a great way for current CEN mentors to get to know CSB students who are not currently in the Cameron Executive Network. It also gives business students a glimpse of what a mentoring session with a CEN mentor would be like if they were to join CEN.
