February Challenge: Students, reach out to your mentor and ask him or her to review
your LinkedIn profile and provide feedback on how to improve it. This could be done
over the phone, in person, via email or on Skype. Mentors, your candid advice will
help your student gain confidence in utilizing LinkedIn for their professional growth.

best to utilize LinkedIn for jobs, internships and networking, click here.
Congratulations to Jasmine Wong Exp. '20 for completing last month's mock interview
challenge and winning the UCLA giveaway!
Spotlight: Linda Havard, MBA '82, and Talia Aranha
When Talia was looking for a mentor, she wanted someone who shared her interests
and enjoyed empowering women. “Linda, with her amazing work experience and
clear passion for helping young women succeed in finance, was the perfect mentor
for me!”
With a special place in her heart for ambitious women leaders, having founded a
women’s leadership organization in California, Linda was thrilled to serve
as Talia’s alumni mentor. “Talia exemplifies this with her extra-curricular
activities, drive for excellence and maturity.”
