Mendoza Business Magazine - How To Be A Mentor

In Homer’s “The Odyssey,” when Odysseus embarks on his voyage home to Ithaca following the Trojan War, he entrusts his son, Telemachus, into the care of his trusted friend whose name is Mentor.

Today, in the business world and beyond, mentors can continue to fulfill this same worthwhile quest.

Finding the Right Recipe - Notre Dame Business Mendoza College of Business

As an undergraduate student majoring in IT Management, Cam Kormylo (BBA ‘19) spent plenty of time asking for advice in professors’ offices on the third floor of the University of Notre Dame’s Mendoza College of Business.

Making the case for less e-waste - MIT Schwarzman College of Computing

As part of the Social and Ethical Responsibilities of Computing (SERC) at the MIT Schwarzman College of Computing, students from different parts of MIT came together to write a case study about the environmental and climate justice implications of the electronics hardware life cycle. Although it’s not uncommon for graduate students to co-author case studies, it’s unusual for undergraduates to earn this opportunity — and for their audience to be other undergraduates around the world.

AC/DC: All Charged Up | Wentworth

Wentworth undergraduates participate in research at every stage and level. "Engineering is a lot of fun for me," Associate Professor of Mechanical Engineering John Voccio says before taking a sip from his large cup of Dunkin' cold brew. "I like to ask questions and then try to design experiments to solve those questions just like the old-school scientists." With a career spanning 35 years, primarily focusing on superconductivity and electromagnetics, Voccio's most recent research benefits from the work of some of the greatest scientists and inventors that came before him–including Michael Faraday and Benjamin Franklin. "I'm sure they were having fun, too," he says.
