Alumni Mentoring Program

With an alumni base of nearly 10,000 members, the SJMC is in a unique position to provide professional assistance to students.

One of the ways the School helps students connect with alumni is through a mentoring program sponsored by the SJMC Alumni Society. For the last two decades, our alumni board has made hundreds of mentoring matches, connecting SJMC juniors, seniors and graduate students with professionals willing to share their experiences.

Students participating in this program are not only introducing themselves to the professional world, but are also representing the School of Journalism and Mass Communication. As a result, we have high expectations for the students who choose to participate in this program.

You can learn more about the mentor program from the mentor program brochure (PDF).
