What do I benefit from joining PATHS?
|
PATHS provides each and every mentee with not only a mentor, but a community of like minded peers with which you can foster both professional and personal relationships along their journey.
We hope to expose you to different mindsets and hope that through new perspectives, you are able to improve your own mindsets, allowing you to become open-minded and empathetic individuals before you become open-minded and empathetic professionals one day. You'll have access to every resource we have (i.e. internship/job opportunities, study resources, etc.), workshops, tips and tricks we've learned to help make the most of your experience at UCLA, and so much more! |
What sets PATHS apart from other clubs? |
We have found that an interdisciplinary approach can offer even more guidance and opportunities for our mentees as you are exposed to the diversity in perspectives that existing career-path bubbles might hide.
Additionally, we are offering immense opportunities to enhance your leadership and mentorship skills within your field. |
