This is where mentors and mentees find each other
The LinkedIn group "UW/H Generations Network" serves the exchange between former and current students of Witten/Herdecke University. Here we offer a space to discuss questions, engage in personal dialogue, learn from each other and find support. Students can, for example, look for mentors, interview partners for theses, speakers for events or a contact person for starting a career. UW/H graduates will find exciting opportunities to work with students and find new colleagues in a pool of motivated and well-trained young professionals.
