What is I am U
What if time could guide you?
Where your future speaks
through the reflections of the past.
Mentorship that feels like time travel.
I am U is not just mentorship.
It’s a living ecosystem of programs that prepare students for a faster path to a meaningful and fulfilling future.
But that’s only part of what I am U offers:
- It helps alumni (Mentors) gain invaluable insight into their own journey through guiding future versions of themselves.
- It gives businesses access to a workforce shaped by education and sharpened by foresight, ready for what comes next on day one.
- And it invites universities to transform into timeless institutions of guidance, growth, and opportunity.
The result is a far-reaching impact on communities and generations of all ages.
Through our programs, we weave together lived experience, academic insight, and cross-generational reflection, building a self-sustaining cycle of wisdom and connection that spans far beyond the classroom.
