Keep the conversation going and build a lasting connection. Stephanie Hon ’16, founder and CEO of Cadence, a New York City-based startup, has become a role model and mentor for Natalie Jew ’23, who interned as a communications associate with the company. 

The ZEN Mentoring Program pairs students with mentors in their fields of interest. Participating students are further supported through our Career Access Fund, which helps offset the costs of networking, from coffee or lunch to train tickets and an interview suit.
