How to Apply
Mentors (alumni)
Please complete the online application by Friday, June 3. Your responses will assist us in the pairing process. Please have ready your up-to-date professional bio or resume to upload to the application.
If you are a part of the 2015-16 Mentoring Program, we invite you to apply to the formal program again to be matched with a new protégé for the 2015-2016 academic year. In addition to being matched with a new protégé, we hope that you will continue your relationship with your current protégé outside of the formal program. If you do not wish to be matched with a new protégé, then you and your current protégé may still stay connected outside of the formal program, and no application or further action is necessary.
Protégés (students)
Please complete the online application by Friday, April 29. Your responses will assist us in the pairing process. At the end of the application, you will be asked to upload the following items. We encourage you to have these items ready to upload prior to starting the online application:
- Your current resume. For resume writing tips, please visit the Career & Corporate Connections Website.
- A statement that explains why you would like to participate in the mentoring program. Please include the following elements when writing your statement:
1. What are your career goals? If you are unsure, just let us know what you're interests are now. If you've had an internship or other professional experience that you have enjoyed or not enjoyed, this is helpful information.
2. Provide 2-3 specific objectives for your mentoring relationship. These objectives can be ways you'd like a mentor to help you, advice you'd like to receive, or goals you'd like to achieve with their assistance.
