Mentors

Students exploring various fields of interest or refining their career goals can both benefit from the coaching of a mentor. Through sharing experiences from their career decision-making, courses, internships, professional development, and job search process, mentors can provide recommendations and "lessons learned" to students encountering similar situations. Other mentor benefits can include developing your professional network, gaining experience in your field of interest, and tips for building skills required to excel in the field. Oftentimes, mentoring relationships are developed through other experiential learning activities; however students seeking out a mentor may find many willing IUPUI alumni through the Alumni Mentor Database.

Alumni Mentor Connections Newsletter
The Alumni Mentor Connections Newsletter is distributed twice per semester and once during the summer to feature effective student-alumni mentoring connections and emphasize the benefits of mentoring relationships for students and alumni alike. Other helpful information includes articles about newly added alumni mentors, information from the Student Organization for Alumni Relations (SOAR); and valuable events for student and alumni participation.

To be added to the Alumni Mentor Connections e-distribution list, send your email address to vjacobse@iupui.edu.
