Mentoring Programs:  M-NETS

What is M-NETS?

M-NETS stands for Mentorship through Networks, Ethics, Teaching, and Service. The M-NETS program is a mentorship program for Ross BBA students with the intent to create connections between classes, give sophomores and juniors the opportunity to network with a mentor, and to promote an awareness of personal ethics and values.

How M-NETS Works

  • The program pairs a senior mentor with a small group of sophomore and junior BBA students to form a mentorship group. There are 5 or 6 students per group, plus the mentor.
  • Each mentorship group gets together twice per month:
    • One meeting will be either a community service project (for example, working at Food Gatherers for an afternoon) or a recreational/social activity (for example, attending a sporting event or cultural event).  For 2012-13, there will be several community service projects scheduled throughout the academic year, usually on Fridays.  The details of the recreational/social activities are decided upon by the group.
    • The other meeting is a discussion, facilitated by the mentor for the group, based on real-life ethical scenarios that students may face in their college careers or as a professional in the work world.

What are the Benefits?

There are many benefits for sophomores and juniors to participate in this program, including…

  • Getting the inside track from the senior mentor by learning about opportunities and activities to participate in as a sophomore or junior
  • Asking the senior mentor questions about being a successful Ross student
  • Connecting with students in other classes and form a small community within the program
  • Learning about ethics, so when you are faced with an ethical dilemma at school or at your internship, you will be prepared.
