Mentorship End Games July 2022

By Darlyn Hernandez, EIT | UCI Practitioner Advisor

The University Outreach team successfully hosted the University Mentorship Program for the 4th year in a row. To conclude the program, all members were invited to the Annual End Games held at William R. Mason Regional Park in Irvine this year. Attendees participated in fun outdoor park games such as water balloon tosses and relay races.

During lunch, students and professionals shared summer plans and discussed how to navigate the transitions after college. The day concluded with a ceremony where all program participants were recognized with a certificate. The End Game winners were also announced, and the 2022 Mentorship Program top 3 winning groups were announced. Winners of the Mentorship Program were determined based on participating in University Outreach events and the number of meetups each Mentorship group has throughout the program.

This program continues to benefit all of our local Universities with opportunities to network with professionals and other students. The University Outreach team looks forward to hosting this program again next year!
