or many students, university is a time to explore their potential and figure out their future. At Aalto, students can connect with an experienced mentor to guide them through the possibilities and challenges in this journey. The Aalto Mentoring Program offers one-on-one mentoring, while the newer Aalto International Talent Program (AITP) provides mentoring in groups for international students. We asked a mentor and mentee from each about their experience and how it helped them.
