Mo Fong, Executive Director of STVP: Mentorship and Career Growth

Welcome back to Her Way podcast! To start off the 2023-2024 school year, we are joined by Mo Fong, the executive director of STVP, the Stanford Engineering Entrepreneurship Center.  After emigrating from Taiwan to the United States at an early age, Fong studied chemical engineering before pursuing her passion for education and entrepreneurship.  As she began to learn about systemic education reform, Fong shares about how the few people in education with a dual business background motivated her to apply business principles to different fields.  Fong explains that “some people think of entrepreneurship as startups or founding companies… the way [the STVP] think about entrepreneurship is more of a mindset,” teaching people to examine their own values and principles, so they are grounded when ethical dilemmas arise.  Fong believes that finding great allies who will advocate for you and being courageous to ask for help is key to career success.
