Career Mentor Program
The Career Mentor Program provides opportunities for students and alumni to interact with professionals from career fields in which they have an interest.
What's expected of career mentors?
As a career mentor, students and alumni will contact you for information that will help them make decisions about majors, career fields and strategies for finding employment, internships or gaining admission to graduate/professional school. Your role then is simply to answer questions based on your knowledge and experience. For example, students and alumni may be interested in learning about:
- your day-to-day on the job responsibilities
- what you enjoy and don't enjoy about your responsibilities or career field
- academic major(s) and graduate/professional programs you have completed
- the career paths you've pursued
- current trends and issues in your field
- suggestions on how they might best prepare for specific career field
- the value of a liberal arts degree in the world of work
- any advice you might have regarding internships, job search strategies and graduate and professional school

What happens next?
