Alumni Resources
Alumni Mentoring Program
The 涩里番下载SSW Alumni Board invites alumni to 听for the Alumni Mentoring Program,听which runs from September 2024 to June 2025. The program offers a great opportunity for recent graduates to learn from those with more experience, and experienced graduates to share their valuable perspectives and stay connected to the University.
Who Should Participate
Mentors: Alumni who have graduated in 2019 or before
Mentees: Alumni who have graduated in the years 2020 to 2024
What鈥檚 Expected from Mentors
We suggest a minimum of quarterly phone, teleconference, or e-mail communications between mentor and mentee, and find that many pairs communicate informally through texts and e-mails in-between scheduled communications as needed.
In addition, the 涩里番下载SSW Mentoring Program coordinators provide quarterly articles on timely topics such as mentoring relationship goals, leadership and teamwork, work-life balance, workplace challenges, and career goals. While we supply a suggested agenda for the calls, there is flexibility to use the time however the mentee/mentor decide. We are also available as a resource for mentors as questions arise.
