Student-Alumni Mentoring in the Business Capstone: An Opportunity to Both Cap and Bridge the Undergraduate Experience
Vieregger, Carl; Bryant, Andrew
Journal of Education for Business, v95 n5 p335-343 2020
At its best, the undergraduate capstone class in the college of business can both cap the students' learning experience and bridge that experience to their future careers. Recent trends in management education, however, have seen the capstone course evolve to consist primarily of a terminal group project without any focus on professional application. This research describe an innovative student-alumni mentorship program that attempts to provide both a capping and bridging experience for students. The instructor follows best practices in developing and implementing the program, and the results from a postmentoring survey demonstrate the efficacy of achieving the program's stated objectives.
