How to Become a Mentor 

Becoming a mentor is a straightforward process. Each year: 

1

HWOI members receive an email invitation with an application to apply as a mentor. 

2

The application gathers information about the mentor’s background and areas of expertise to ensure a great match. 

3

The Meruelo Family Center for Career Development collaborates with HWOI to match mentors with undergraduate students who apply. 

If you have questions about the process, please contact HWOI@nd.edu.
