Career Education and Programming
Price Professional Mentorship Program (PPMP)
One of the best takeaways from a USC education is your lifelong membership into the Trojan Family. The USC Price Professional Mentor Program is just one way our students leverage this resource.
PPMP matches students with professionals for the full academic year. Mentors serve as role models, offer advice on academic and career goals, and guide students as they develop their professional network. Our mentors represent USC’s alumni in various sectors, industries, career backgrounds, and experience levels – perfect to meet with our diverse student population at Price.
Interested students with questions about PPMP can contact Thomas Eng at [email protected].
