The Roundtable Peer Mentor Program

Why Join the Peer Mentor Program?

 

Let’s be honest—business education has been through a whirlwind these past few years. Between industry shifts and turnover, driving curriculum innovation and keeping programs relevant is no small feat. The truth is, no one should have to tackle these challenges alone. Having a trusted support system—inside and outside your school—can make all the difference.

That’s exactly why the Roundtable Peer Mentor Program exists. Our goals are simple: 

  • Help you build meaningful professional connections with peers across business schools

  • Allow you to share challenges, ideas, and best practices in curricular and program innovation -- as well as life in general!
  • Support you in setting personal and professional goals -- with the support of a trusted mentor or mentee

And the results speak for themselves:
  • 132 participants in 3 cohorts since inception (some repeats)
  • 302 conversations logged since 2024


Here’s what participants are saying:

“We discussed doing more with less, and I shared some examples of my own experience with this in the past, especially during challenging times." — Roundtable Mentor

“My mentorship experience has been great: my dean has been very excited that I am seeking mentorship to grow and sometimes shares that I have brainstormed or discussed different approaches with my mentor as a senior member in the industry to help shape my strategies. It has been a high signal to my organization that I want to learn and grow.” — Roundtable Mentee
