As an alum, parent or friend of the University, you have the opportunity to mentor and lead many students. Our goal is to directly connect current juniors and seniors with alumni and friends of the University of Evansville, in order to establish a variety of professional support.

Objectives of the Program

1. Provide insight into career opportunities through students' interaction with alumni
2. Promote student leadership and encourage experiential education involvement
3. Offer contacts and networking opportunities in the students' fields of interest

Mentoring Guidelines

1. During the Kickoff Reception, students will meet their mentors and discuss goals and expectations. Activities and the level of involvement in this program will be mutually agreed upon by both parties.
2. Students and mentors must sign a Mentorship Agreement and agree to meet at least once a month. The Offices of Alumni and Parent Relations and Career Services and Cooperative Education will host on-campus luncheons to provide networking opportunities.
3. After the program concludes, students and mentors will be asked to provide their feedback about their mentoring experience through an electronic survey.
