To volunteer for the Mentor Program, fill out a mentor enrollment form, which includes contact information and a profile.
Students review a list of sample mentors and identify up to three (unranked) they feel would be the best match for their interests and why.
There is no guarantee that a student will be matched with one of these people, but if the Alumni Mentor Committee can’t assign one of those mentors, committee members will find another mentor in the same field. Student preferences are used to guide the committee in the matching process.
Students fill out the online mentor program student application form in July, explaining their mentor needs. This application form is used by the Mentor Matching Committee and provided to the mentor.
The Mentor Matching Committee and Mentor Program staff match students with mentors from the existing pool and recruit additional mentors for specific student needs. Students and mentors are notified of their matches in October, and the kickoff events will officially begin the program in November. The program ends in May, with a final wrap-up event in late April.
