Mentor Program
Tap into the expertise and perspectives of Heinz College alumni by participating in the Mentor Program. In a survey of Fortune 500 companies, 96% of executives credited mentoring as an important developmental tool. 75% said mentoring played a key role in their career success.
You'll gain access to a unique network of professionals. Alumni mentors are an invaluable source of wisdom on topics such as career path, resumes, course selection, international perspectives and work/family issues.
The program matches alumni based on your career interests and goals. Mentors provide information and advice related to career and professional development and can serve as valuable contacts both now and in the future. See your career counselor for information about obtaining an alumni mentor.
How the Mentor Program Works
You'll select alumni mentors based on your personal priorities. The Mentor Program Guidelines provide a framework for the mentoring relationship, but its nature and scope are up to the participants. You'll receive information regarding possible mentors. Once you select your mentor, it's up to you to initiate the mentoring process. The Mentorship Program Administrator will be happy to provide additional information.
