Mentoring is a great way to apply your knowledge and make a difference in students' lives. The Alumni Association can connect you to our online career and networking platform or with a collegiate mentor program that fits your interest and connects you with students looking for career advice.
It's an easy way to give career-related advice to current students and fellow alumni. Career development doesn’t end at graduation, so you can further leverage the platform by reaching out as well for your own career advice from fellow alumni. Browse the network of individuals who are willing to share insights by industry, college, major, degree type, employer, and location.
The University's collegiate mentor programs offer some of the best formalized mentor opportunities in the country. You'll be matched with a student based on application and career preferences.
