This course combines theory and practice to raise students' awareness of the value of developmental relationships for career advancement while providing experiential learning opportunities for building a developmental network of coaches, sponsors, and mentors-all of which are essential for career growth in today's complex work environment. Students will apply course concepts through a series of relationship building activities, peer circle and group discussions, peer feedback, and structured reflection exercises.

During this course, students pair with mentors through the Center for Women's Entrepreneurial Leadership Mentor Program*, based on compatibility and their career interests. Students will apply concepts learned in class to manage their mentoring experience and build their developmental relationships.
