More than 100 mentors and mentees gather at Virtual Retreat to learn, connect

On Jan. 14, Marquette Mentors hosted its first ever Virtual Retreat. More than 100 mentors, mentees, campus partners and mentee alumni attended the retreat hosted on a platform that allowed everyone to freely network around a “room” similar to professional events pre-COVID-19. Sessions included panel discussions and small-group tables highlighting topics such as the transition from Marquette to career, the importance of work/life balance and a day in the life of a mentor’s career.

“I learned a great deal from the mentor panelists and my breakout sessions, especially since I don’t exactly know what I want to do career-wise,” says Mia Ketelhohn, engineering mentee (mentor Aleisha Jaeger, Eng ’03). “It was very reassuring to hear how career paths can change and how much success one can have with the right mindset.”
