|  | The Ross Mentor program provides access to a broad range of respected scholars and industry experts who advise faculty and students. They assist with curriculum design and development, guide action research for teaching and learning and participate in faculty professional development workshops. Ross mentors work in their own areas of expertise throughout the world but visit regularly or instruct our professionals and students over the Internet or through videoconferencing. Some mentor lectures have become yearly traditions at Ross, their vivid language and thought-provoking ideas equally looked forward to by the Ross community.
