How to Register as a Mentor

Thank you for considering joining our network of career mentors. More students and alumni are requesting mentors than ever before, so we really need your help! Everyone's contribution is welcome, no matter what your career. Anyone can be a mentor, regardless of your affiliation with the Association.

Being a mentor is a fun, easy, and rewarding way to give back to your University. Plus, you always control the extent of your involvement in the program. You are agreeing to have at least one informational interview conversation, over e-mail on the phone or in person, with each person who contacts you. Through our sign-up process, you will decide the kinds of topics that you are willing to discuss, the type of interaction you prefer, the way you prefer to be contacted, and when you prefer to be contacted. We will contact you periodically to ask if you would like to continue your service as a mentor and to ask for any new information.

You can read more about our expectations of mentors and the structure of a typical mentor interaction in the article Guidelines for Mentors.

You can learn more about the Alumni NetWorks program in general by reading the article About Alumni NetWorks.

You can learn more about how we expect students and alumni to prepare before they contact you by reading the article Make a Great Impression!
