M&M Overview
The M&M (Mentors & Mentees) Program is a peer-mentoring program for undergraduate female engineering students, where Freshmen are matched with Juniors, and Sophomores with Seniors within the same major. M&M is a unique opportunity to build 
friendships with other students from across campus as well as for underclassman to find an upperclassman who can offer support and guidance so they’re not facing the challenges of succeeding at Tech alone.
In addition to encouraging mentoring pairs to meet at times and venues of their choice, WIE plans monthly lunches with guest speakers to give M&M participants the chance to talk about various topics including resumes, goal-setting, leadership, study skills, time management and much more!
M&M Commitment
Being an M&M mentor or mentee is a fun and rewarding experience, but it does require a commitment of your time and energy in order for the partnership to be successful. We ask that students signing-up to be a mentor or mentee make the commitment necessary to ensure a successful mentoring partnership, specifically committing to weekly communication and monthly meetings with their mentoring partner. M&M members who make this commitment will benefit greatly from this program!
