Career Mentors
From the first day on campus, students begin
working with a personal career mentor from our
Executive-in-Residence program. These executives formerly
worked at such companies as Cummins, General Motors and IBM and
have significant professional business experience.
Career mentors help students discover career paths and
interests-and how to structure your time at Butler to meet your
goals.
There is nothing more satisfying than working with these
bright, eager, young students. It's rewarding to help them
discover who they are, where their interests lie, and to encourage
them to follow their dreams. I encourage my students to make
a career out of something they enjoy, to find a career that excites
and challenges them--not just a job.

The part of my Butler experience that impacted me the most
was the multitude of lifelong relationships I formed. In
addition to creating lasting bonds with peers through my classes
and extracurricular activities, I developed strong relationships
with my advisors, mentors, and professors. During my career
at Butler, I was able to turn to them for guidance and draw on
their experiences in the business world. Even though I have
graduated, I keep in touch with many of my Butler contacts and have
leaned on them for further assistance and invaluable career
advice.

In the past few years, I have supervised eight different
Butler interns for my company. I always enjoy it when the
career mentors visit our office for feedback on our students.
The mentors are very dedicated to helping both students and local
businesses succeed through these internship
opportunities.
