Five Questions With...
Mentor Rob Hart, Comm '02
(Henry Greening, Comm '16, mentee)

1. Why are you serving in the MUAA Mentor Program?  
It's an opportunity to pass along whatever advice I may have to Marquette students. Eighty percent of success in life stems from having someone point you in the right direction.

2. What qualities do you look for and appreciate in the people you work with or hire?
Enthusiasm. Employers (and employees) want to spend their days with positive people. We enjoy what we do. So should you.

3. What suggestions do you have for mentees?
Know that you still have a lot of life ahead of you. You're not supposed to have your career path mapped out at the age of 20. Listen. Collect experiences. Be open to new ideas.

4. What’s your favorite Marquette memory?
There are too many to list in such a small space. My first time on the radio - anywhere - was on Milwaukee's WTMJ on April 22, 2000. I went home to Schroeder Hall feeling   like a million bucks.  

5. How do you manage work/life balance?
I work early mornings, so even though I have to get up at 4 a.m., I'm usually home by 11 a.m. Plenty of time to devote to family.
