The Wharton/Mankato Success Skills Program

What is the program?

The Wharton/Mankato Success Skills Program is a fall semester program that will help you build your professional skills, offered at no charge to you. 

Who can participate?

All first-year students at Minnesota State Mankato will be enrolled in the program so long as they create an account on the Mav Life app by August 26, 2022.

What do I need to do?

You’ll watch several short (~2-minute) skill-building videos and complete activities through the Mav Life app during the program. This program requires, at most, 30 minutes of your time each week.

What will I get for participating?

You’ll earn a Wharton/Mankato certificate for completing the program requirements. After completion, you can include the certificate on your resumé and share with future employers. 

You’ll also get points as you progress, which you could convert to an online gift card worth $100 if you win a lottery.

Will I be charged for the program?

No. This program is absolutely free.

What else do I need to know?

As part of your participation in this program, deidentified data from your school records will be shared with the Wharton School at the University of Pennsylvania for program evaluation.
