Mentoring by Former Students provides current students with a unique and invaluable perspective that goes beyond what they learn in the classroom. Current students benefit greatly from hearing how their degree can be applied in the real world, and Former Students are in the best position to offer that guidance. By sharing personal experiences, professional advice, and lessons learned, mentors help students navigate both their academic journey and their early career decisions with more confidence and clarity.
At the same time, mentoring strengthens the bond between Former Students and their former department. Serving as a mentor is a way for graduates to give back in a meaningful and lasting way, continuing the tradition of Selfless Service while shaping the next generation of leaders. It also fosters a stronger professional network that benefits the entire community: your service as a mentor today helps current students get their first jobs tomorrow.
If you are interested in volunteering as a mentor for students in our program, we invite you to complete a short survey to get connected with the department. This form will allow us to match you with students who can benefit most from your expertise and experiences. Your willingness to serve as a mentor can make a real difference in the lives of students as they prepare for the future.
