The program is coordinated through each of the academic unit alumni associations. It matches juniors and seniors with professionals in their chosen field of interest. By serving as a mentor, alumni have an opportunity to introduce students who are educated in theory to the real and practical world of professional life. Participation in the program has numerous advantages. Students get an up close and personal look at the real world of work and the opportunity to relate to people in their selected career field.
Mentors benefit from relating to students and reconnecting with the university.
Our community gains because the program may help to keep our best and brightest students working in the area and contributing to our local economy after graduation. I hope that you will consider becoming involved in this program. It is a wonderful way to learn what it is like to be a student today, and I promise that it will help keep you young.
