After several years in human resources, Stephanie Koenig joined the Roosevelt MBA program to level up in her career. Her mentor, alum Joana Ardelean, is a senior director of human resources and a former mentee herself.
On this episode, Stephanie and Joana explain how the program helped guide their career journey. They also break down what they wish other students knew about mentoring. I hope you enjoy the conversation.
Aleksandra Mierzejewska wanted to find a career mentor before she even graduated from Roosevelt University. She joined the Professional Mentoring Program to figure out how she could help service members cope with stress and trauma as a full-time job.

Landing a dream job takes hard work, a little luck and a strong network. Founded in 2016, the Professional Mentoring Program matches working professionals — from recent PhD graduates to C-suite executives — with mentees who hope to break into their fields after graduation.
In this episode, I’m joined by Kristy Kotek and Jessica Mueller, who organize more than a hundred mentor and mentee pairs at Roosevelt University. We’ll talk about how the program has helped our students weather a difficult job market and make lasting career connections.
I hope you’ll enjoy our conversation.
Asking for help is never easy, according to Roosevelt University alum and therapist Melisa Alaba. She says that many women, people of color, and other communities have learned to just keep things moving. Those who do ask for help often feel like they aren’t heard or understood.
In honor of Mental Health Awareness Month, Melisa Alaba and moderator Chidima Anusiem (CHIH-dih-mah Ah-NOO-see-um) talks about taking care of yourself and others. She’ll discuss how the COVID crisis and racial injustices have increased stressors, and how you can prioritize your well-being.
This episode is a live recording of an event hosted by the Women’s Leadership Council. Please enjoy.
