The McDonnell Academy Flash Mentoring sessions provide opportunities for engagement through a virtual model open to all of our alumni around the world.
How does Flash Mentoring work?
The McDonnell Academy will host alumni interested in providing brief answers to Scholars and other alumni regarding their career, leadership or personal goals. Each Zoom room will have a mentor and 3-4 mentees assigned for a 15-minute session. After the first round, mentees will “move” to the next Zoom room and round two begins. We hope to complete at least three rounds depending on the number of mentors available. Additional discussions and networking may take place during the last 15-minutes of the session.
