The Sustainability Mentoring Sessions are ad hoc mentoring sessions for all Hertie School students interested in learning more about career options in the field of sustainability. We invite mentors with different backgrounds to talk to students and share with them career experiences and insights, professional advice and recommendations, and to answer their questions. These sessions also allow students to begin building relationships with professionals of the field.
These are one-hour sessions, open to 1st and 2nd year MPP, MIA, and MDS students. We offer 15 spots and participation is determined on a first-come, first-served basis. Please go to our events page to check upcoming sessions.
