Become a Mentor
As a graduate of Heinz College, your understanding of organizations, career options, trends, professional networking and job opportunities is invaluable to students and other alumni. We invite you to share this knowledge by mentoring a current student or participating in the Career Network.
Alumni Mentor Program
As a mentor, we'll pair you with a student interested in your field of employment or career path, or who shares a similar background. You can help by providing career guidance, academic advice, and wisdom gained from your personal and professional experiences. This provides students an opportunity to build personal relationships and expand their professional network as they transition into the marketplace.
Each alum-student "mentoring pair" determines how to use the program. Initially, the student is provided with your email and some background information about you, along with a set of Mentor Program Guidelines (.doc). After this initial contact, you both will decide how you'll communicate and what to discuss (career plans, classes to take, etc.).
Career Network
When you join the Career Network, you agree to make your contact information available to students and other alumni. You'll be contacted on a one-time basis by a student of alum for advice on careers or your place of employment. For more information, contact Alumni Relations Office.
