Mentorship Programs

The WoMentorship Program matches sophomore and junior undergraduate women with upper-class women, and first-year graduate women with second-year graduate women. Mentor and mentees meet at least four times each semester and engage in social activities, academic opportunities, and career and professional development. Mentors and their mentees independently plan one-on-one meetings and activities, and attend campus events and programs together.

• Mentors are dynamic students who aid in the growth and progression of their mentees, academically and socially. Mentors also act as role models and lead by example, while serving as a link to student resources on both the Brooklyn and Washington Square campuses.
• Mentees are students who are looking to further engage and learn from other women mentors within the Tandon community. Mentees sign up to receive the above benefits from mentors, while contributing to the development of these relationships and the overall success of growing a strong network of women in engineering at Tandon.

Applications for the WoMentorship Program are open each Fall and the program runs from October-May of each year. Applications for Fall 2024 be open from September 2-12. For more information, please contact engagement.tandonstudentlife@nyu.edu. 

Additionally, previous WoMentorship mentors and mentees are eligible to apply for the two WoMentorship Student Coordinator roles. The application process for these two roles occurs in the late Spring semester. Applicants have to have previously been a member of the program to apply and must be in good academic and disciplinary standing to participate.

• The head WoMentorship Student Coordinator position acts as a mentor to two members in the program, assists with planning and executing all in-house events and helps with program advertisement. The student in this position also helps facilitate orientation for the program and program evaluation.
• The 2nd Womentorship Student Coordinator also mentors two members in the program. While the 2nd student coordinator will help with event planning and execution, this role focuses on communications within the program and helps conduct mentor outreach with the program's members. The 2nd student coordinator also helps with orientation and program evaluation.
