Black Career Mentorship Application

We recognize the unique challenges Black students encounter in their pursuit of higher education, and we are dedicated to providing them with the essential resources necessary to thrive professionally, personally, and academically. The Black Career Mentorship Program (BCMP) aims provide 3rd and 4th-year students at Mount Royal University with career mentorship and professional networks as they embark on their journey into the workforce.
