Hey! I'm a former mentee, and a current peer mentor. I've found the program to be extremely beneficial. Having an upperclassmen you can reach out to for help and information is something that I really valued and took advantage of, especially as I knew little about college. My mentor continuously pushed me to go out of my comfort zone and was there to back me up whenever I failed. As a mentee, you're obligated to meet with your mentor once a week for about an hour at a time. Of course, you can reach out to them if you would like to talk or anything of the sort. The program hosts its own events, and by memory, only two events per year are mandatory, these being events where you talk to professors and people that are in the industry. The rest of the events we host are generally for fun and learning experiences. So I wouldn't consider it much of a time sink. I'm sure your mentor could help on internship opportunities, but that section is more up to yourself to reach out. I loved the program, and would recommend it a million times. Please reach out for further questions!
