The Mentorship Matters Series at the Lowell Institute School
The Mentorship Matters Series, hosted by the Lowell Institute School (LIS) within Northeastern University’s College of Professional Studies, celebrates the vital role mentorship plays across all industries and stages of professional growth.
Each one-hour virtual conversation features a mix of academic leaders, industry professionals, student voices, and mentors—all sharing perspectives on how mentoring influences learning, career development, and community building. While each episode takes a slightly different form, together they offer diverse insights into the importance of guidance, connection, and lifelong learning for both students and professionals.
The series was created as part of the Lowell Institute School’s ongoing commitment to community and access—especially for Lowell Institute Scholars, adult learners completing bachelor’s degrees in high-demand STEM fields through the Lowell Institute Scholarship. Through these conversations, participants gain inspiration, practical advice, and a deeper understanding of how mentoring helps learners and professionals alike build the skills, confidence, and networks needed for long-term success.
As a central part of Northeastern’s bachelor’s completion mission, the Lowell Institute School continues a century-long legacy of powering New England’s workforce and expanding opportunity for learners across the region and beyond.
