Their mentoring accounts will be managed by The Career Center. And this program is a great match to illuminate the strength of the Notre Dame alumni network. After a pilot period during which alumni will mentor only students, the program will be expanded to allow networking among alumni. That second phase of the project is expected to be in place by spring 2001.

Go Irish ensures that no mentor receives more advisees than requested, and no student has more mentors than established by The Career Center policy. Students search Go Irish for mentors using specific criteria, such as industry, job function, graduation date and geographical location. The Career Center can also intervene when the system is being used improperly. A response card accompanying the letter offered several ways in which alumnae could volunteer to help students.
