Student Mentors

The Student Mentor Program pairs IABC student members with professionals in the communication field.

Become a Student Mentor

As an IABC student mentor, you will have a hand in shaping tomorrow’s communicators. In volunteering your time for the program, you are committing to making yourself available at least four times over a period of six months to respond to your mentoree’s questions via e-mail, phone or face-to-face meetings.
