College of Business Executive Mentoring Program
What is it? 
Successful business executives from the New Orleans area volunteer their time to mentor business students in small group meetings.
As mentors these executives:
- Introduce different types of jobs/careers available to business students
- Discuss a variety of topics, including time management, personal finance, goal setting, communication skills, and job market realities.
- Provide networking opportunities in the New Orleans business community so that the students can find excellent internships, summer jobs, and post-graduation employment
- Take the students on field trips to local businesses (Hubig's Pies, Berning Productions, Canal Place, etc.)
Students value this program and the relationship the College has with the local executives. Some student quotes: 
- “The program for me was one of the best experiences of my freshman year,” says Jonathan Rowan, B'10. “It allowed me to get firsthand experience with successful business professionals in the field. The efforts made by the faculty and staff of the College of Business and all the mentors truly show the level of commitment to the students at even the most introductory levels.”
- “The Executive Mentor Program by far has been one of the best learning experiences I have yet to come across! I was able to take what I learned in the classroom and apply it to real life situations in the business world,” notes Joey Grego, B'10.
With glowing praise from its participants and positive results, the Executive Mentoring Program is indeed an asset for both the university and the business community.
