Job Opportunity


SWE Summer Mentorship

SWE Summer Mentorship

Calling all current first to third years and transfers to sign up to become a mentor for the 2024 SWE Summer Mentorship Program! Our goal is to provide incoming women engineering students with support, a source of answers to their questions, and a new friend. 

Here are the program details: 

  • Each mentor will be matched with one or two incoming students.
  • We will connect you with your mentees by the end of June. 
  • This is a casual and low commitment program–your primary responsibilities will be to welcome your mentees to campus and answer their questions about life at UCLA!
  • Must not be graduating this quarter to sign up.

Being a mentor through this program is a simple way to reach out and can make all the difference for your mentees! Feel free to email mentorship.swe.ucla@gmail.com with any questions!
