Mentor Program

how it works
- Sign up to create a profile.
Current students participate as mentees. Alumni participate as mentors. Recent graduates may participate as either a mentee or mentor depending on their goals. - Mentees search for a mentor based on a variety of factors that are important to the them, including major, career field, or participation in various university activities.
- Mentees request a mentor, and mentors view and accept (or decline) requests to match.
- Mentoring pairs connect throughout the academic year! The program offers guided conversation starters called milestones to help mentors and mentees get the most out of their mentoring relationship.
Mentor Program Events
The Office of Alumni & Constituent Engagement hosts multiple events throughout the year – both virtual and in-person – to provide networking and engagement opportunities. Students and mentors are strongly encouraged to participate in these events and seize the opportunity to further develop their mentor/mentee relationship.
