EY has been one of the corporate sponsors for iMentor's Bring Your Mentee to Work Day in NYC and has been a supporter of iMentor since 2004. Andrea Jimenez, an EY employee, participated with her mentee, Sarai. They practiced interview skills in a speed networking workshop and collaborated on a case study, presenting solutions to teams. These activities reinforced the belief that iMentor and partners like EY are invested in seeing their students succeed. Nearly 150 EY employees volunteer as mentors, and the company has welcomed groups of students to their EY Connect Day in NYC and Chicago. Additionally, employees Zach Slater and Anita Bafna serve on iMentor Chicago’s Young Executives Board and iMentor NYC’s Board of Directors, respectively. #bringyourmenteetoworkday #careerdevelopment #networking #interviewprep #inoffice #officeevents #imentor #mentorship

The true power of iMentor lies in its community, as exemplified by mentor-mentee pairs like Aylin and Manuela from iMentor Chicago. Aylin, a high school senior who recently graduated, and her mentor Manuela, a PhD student at the University of Chicago, formed an immediate and strong bond. Their connection has helped them thrive both personally and professionally.

Chapman proudly supports iMentor, a mentoring program designed for high schools in communities in which a majority of students will be first-generation college students. Our New York office was delighted to welcome a group from the Bronx High School-Law And Community Service. Students visited with our attorneys and paralegals to learn how exciting a career in finance law can be and the journeys they took to get there. Thank you to Chapman partner Heath Martin and our NYC office manager Wendy Reiner who serve as mentors and made this program possible!
