Alumni Mentorship Program now open to grad students!

The Alumni Mentorship Program fosters valuable relationships between Skule™ alumni and students. Alumni Mentors share their knowledge and experience and provide students with the encouragement and insights they need to get a great start to their careers and begin to set a course for the future. The program is now open to graduate students (MASc, MEng and PhD) and alumni who graduated more than one year ago. Matches meet at the program’s kick-off event on Wednesday, September 19. From October through March, mentors and mentees connect informally as they wish, and all matches gather at several program events planned throughout the year. For more information, including details on how to participate, click here.
