Alumni Mentoring

Alumni Mentoring Program 

The alumni mentor program is a collaborative partnership between alumni mentors and undergraduate mentees, with a primary emphasis on career development and transitioning to post-college life. This relationship is founded on mutual respect, shared experiences, and a commitment to supporting the mentee's successful transition into the workforce or further education. 

Mentoring Program

A structured program that pairs one student with one alumni mentor to provide personalized guidance for career and life beyond college. These programs will be structured with benchmarks participants will be expected to meet. The inaugural programs will be open to the Class of 2027. 

 

The focus of each mentor/mentee pairing will greatly depend on the needs of the student mentee. Possible focuses may include: 

■ Career Exploration: Alumni mentors may leverage their industry experience to help mentees identify their career interests, set realistic goals, and develop strategies for achieving them. 

■ Transition Support: Mentoring may focus beyond college life to support mentees in transitioning to the workforce or graduate/professional studies. 

■ Networking Resources: Alumni mentors may facilitate and offer strategies on professional networking opportunities for mentees, leveraging their alumni connections and industry networks. 

■ Industry Insights and Trends: Mentors may share valuable industry insights, trends, and  practical advice based on their professional experiences. They may help mentees stay informed about industry changes, emerging opportunities, and potential challenges.
