From the beginning, it was evident that the highest level of professionalism and dedication would be provided from both the students and faculty for a quality and meaningful project. The students put their heart and soul into their work, and the extensive data provided, along with concrete suggestions, gave us a clear path to make a direct and positive impact on the clients we serve. The Professional MBA students far exceeded our expectations, and we were thrilled with the process and results from the Professional MBA program at the Daniels College of Business.

Mentoring
Executive Mentorship Program
The Executive Mentorship Program matches senior-level business executives from the Denver metro area with Daniels graduate students. This program offers mentors, who volunteer their time, the opportunity to work with students to enhance their professional and personal skills. It is intended to educate students on how business is practiced, sharpen career readiness and build and strengthen professional networks.
Professionals with 10+ years of experience who are interested in becoming a mentor may contact Susan Goodwin. Mentors complete an application including a biography which students have the opportunity to review and select an Executive Mentor.
LEAD Mentorship Program
The LEAD (Learning by Example, Attaining Distinction) Mentorship Program pairs undergraduate business students with professionals in a similar field and/or career trajectory. Each mentor/protégé pair is encouraged to meet once per month throughout the school year, and attend a speed-networking kickoff event and year-end celebration. Protégés gain guidance and support from someone in their industry of choice, build connections with professionals in the community and clarify their own goals and potential future career path. Mentors provide professional advice to a student interested in their industry, attract talent to their company to build their brand on campus and foster connections with future professionals of their community.
Contacts for the LEAD Mentorship Program:
Hospitality majors: Jill Hartman and Dee Jay Driver
Accountancy majors: Kristen Dimig
All other majors: Toni (Gabrielli) Phelan and Angie Jimenez
