Alumni News . . . That's why Carleton's Career Services and Development and Alumni Services have jointly established the university's first mentorship program to link alumni with students and recent graduates. We want to help students and recent grads to know more about a specific field of work.
Mentors can give advice about how they got into their field.
The program encourages prot g s to find out about the mentor's workplace before contacting him or her so that the initial interview can be efficient. That's what third-year commerce student Ken Brownlee did. He fired questions at Thomas for a full half hour. The visit gave him the opportunity to see what the workplace was like. But Brownlee didn't confine his questions to his career.
