1. Register for the Platform and Create your Profile
Mentors and mentees build their profiles with details about education and professional backgrounds as well as other basic info that improves matching quality.
2. Indicate Mentorship Preferences
Once registered, mentors and students are matched based upon their interests, preferences, and availability.
3. Get Matched & Get Started!
Mentors are notified when a match is made and given the option to accept or decline. Once accepted, the student is prompted to connect with their mentor to establish an agreed upon method of communicating (email, phone, Skype, Google Meets, etc.) then is prompted to schedule the kickoff meeting.
Matched participants are provided a topic-focused mentoring module to guide the engagement, which includes a sequence of three meetings including activities, conversation starters, and deliverables that facilitate mentor-mentee interactions and foster a mentoring relationship.

Thank you for the opportunity to work with Janine Bower, Director of Instructional Design & Partnership Success at CapSource. I appreciate Janine’s professionalism and expertise in assisting me on these projects. It was very short notice, and I wanted to be sure that I could create projects that are beneficial to HIOKI and the Graduate Students. Her background as a professor gives her insight on how to navigate complex projects and create focused materials. I think the classes will have a great kick off with Janine’s assistance. I hope that I can work with Janine again on our future projects. Once again, I am thrilled with the opportunity, thank you!

During this Live Case collaboration, the Fashion Merch andising students of LIU, provided a lot of great information for us that usually takes so long to gather. I look forward to seeing the HERVE launch come to life. Our team is using influencers and strategies that the students suggested, so I hope all the students feel part of it! Our team has gleamed so much from this experience!

The Spring 2020 Coinsource Live Case competition far exceeded our expectations. The student’s ingenuity and dedication to producing high-quality solutions was truly impressive, despite the constraints of a virtual environment. The feedback derived regarding our business model and strategy from this next generation of business leaders was informative and valuable to Coinsource as we continue to grow and innovate. We are excited to move forward with the winning undergraduate team Oregon Tech as members of the Coinsource team!

The students did a fantastic job of not only completing the prescribed tasks, but also in providing inferences that I use to create desired business outcomes for Crayon at a global level.

Even as a non-profit, we wrestle with complex strategic questions when it comes to running and scaling our operations. The students added capacity to our team and brought a new and fresh perspective to a critical research project. I believe that the students appreciated the challenge and learned a lot through the project. We’re excited to see that they are learning and growing as much as we are benefiting from their insights, which was our main objective for this engagement.
