Executive Mentors
UWF is very thankful for these remarkable business executives who give their time and energy to help UWF students prepare to successfully enter the business world.
James Hosman and Josh Preston
"As a mentor I try to put myself in the shoes of my mentee. I offer the advice that I would have wanted to receive at that point in my career that I'm not going to learn in a classroom setting."
- James Hosman, Market President
