Mentoring
For more information on the mentoring opportunities available through the Women in Business Organization of Dartmouth, please e-mail: wib@dartmouth.edu.
WIB offers three mentoring opportunities:
Intra-Dartmouth Mentoring
Junior and Senior Dartmouth women provide practical advice on majors, internships, and other off term activities
The mission of the Undergraduate WIB Mentoring Program is to educate and prepare women to enter the workforce and to promote the growth of women in business by facilitating relationships between Dartmouth female underclassmen and Dartmouth female upperclassmen.
A mentor is expected to share her business experiences and perspectives with the ultimate goal of providing her mentee with a platform upon which to become a knowledgeable person in the broad sphere of business and ultimately become more confident in the direction she is heading, whether it be inside of the business world or outside of traditional business endeavors.
A mentee is expected to utilize this rare resource by playing an active role in her own future. She should be willing to take personal responsibility for her career by being prepared to meet with her Mentor and motivated in her professional development.
Dartmouth-Tuck Mentoring
Tuck Women provide industry or career specific advice, resume review, and interview practice
This unique mentoring program connects female students from Dartmouth College with female students from the Amos Tuck School of Business. The relationships formed educate and prepare undergrad women for the diverse array of post-graduate opportunities. This partnership also aims to foster a stronger network for all women with desired paths in business.The program consists of a series of informal events and individual mentor assignments. Events facilitate undergraduates to explore various industries and provide a chance for both groups to bond over shared interests. Individual mentorship provides undergrads a resource and confidant for a successful entrance to the business sector.
A Tuck Mentor aides her mentee by sharing her business experiences, reviewing resumes, providing interviewing advice and giving encouragement. While utilizing this valuable resource, a Dartmouth Mentee still must play an active role. An undergrad should be willing to take personal responsibility by soliciting advice from her mentor, being prepared for meetings with her Mentor, and showing initiative in her own development.
The Dartmouth-Tuck Mentoring Program creates dialogue between female undergrads and MBA students, and will undoubtedly link the groups together in the future.
Broads2Be
Women in the business world counsel Dartmouth women via an innovative online mentoring network called 85 Broads
Broad2Be is an 85 Broads co-mentoring initiative focused on women from the leading undergraduate institutions. 85 Broads (the name is a humorous reference to Goldman Sachs' world headquarters address at 85 Broad St. in New York) is a global network of women professionals which has grown to over 7,500 members who live in 150 cities around the world and work for (or run) over 500 different companies and organizations, thereby representing virtually every private, public, and philanthropic sector!In 2004, Janet Hanson and the 85 Broads team launched Broad2Be. The first Broad2Be event was held at Dartmouth and connected women undergrads interested in learning about business with women at the Tuck School of Business. Broad2Be has now expanded to over 40 leading undergraduate schools and represents the fastest growing segment within the 85 Broads network.
