Student and Alumni Experiences: Mentor Jackets

"My mentor, Nick Otto, gave me a much more real perspective on how leadership and decision-making work inside a large tech company today. Through our conversations, I got to better understand how quickly big tech is adapting to AI and how engineers are expected to think differently because of it. Nick also helped connect me with professionals and executives adjacent to my upcoming internship role at IBM, which helped me approach my career with a lot more confidence as a first-year student. I ended up nominating him for Mentor of the Year because of how meaningful his mentorship was to me." — Sujay Chava, Computer Science 2029
