The Frasier Global Mentorship Program
The Frasier Global Mentorship Program offers ASU School of Sustainability students and professional sustainability practitioners the opportunity to engage in an insightful mentorship experience. School of Sustainability students will be paired with sustainability professionals from international or globally focused organizations.
Students will learn how professionals accomplish their sustainability goals in political, economic, and social contexts, while developing their own professional skills in preparation for entering the global workplace.
The program will culminate in an immersive on-site experience, providing the student mentees the opportunity to visit their mentor on site or attend a professional development related conference.
