The Institute for Business and Information Technology’s Fall 2023 mentoring program engaged 17 students and 15 mentors. IBIT matches Temple University students with senior executive IT mentors based on students’ interests and career goals using a structured process that ensures regular engagement. The mentoring program runs each semester and has, to-date, served 173 students from three different schools at Temple since spring 2020. One measure of the program’s success is that mentees stay connected to their mentors long after the end of the mentoring assignment. Sondra Barbour, Board Member, AGCO & Perspecta is the chair of the Mentoring Program.
