Mentor Program

Connections That Inspire.

The Mentor Program is offered to students and professionals who register to attend the UNC Cleantech Summit.

How do I register for Mentor Match?

Both students and mentors will sign up as part of the registration process. During that process, you will answer a brief question or two to help our teams to create 1:1 or small group matches. This program closes on March 1 to allow for matches and notifications to be made.

Once registered, how will I connect with my mentor/mentee?

Our team will introduce you to your mentor via email in March before the Summit.

When do we meet up?

You are welcome to work together to set a time that works for all during the Summit. There are plenty of breaks in our agenda to allow for meet ups in the main Atrium Hall or in one of two lounges.

Why participate?

Learn about career paths and provide shared insights with industry professionals. Our mentors volunteer for this program to pay it forward and connect with students about issues that matter: your career, the future of clean tech and life-lessons to help as you begin your professional life.

“One of the most rewarding aspects of attending the UNC Clean Tech Summit was talking with the students. Their ideas and enthusiasm were energizing and I was thrilled to share my experiences and mentor future leaders in the cleantech sector.”
