LFM Alumni Mentoring – 2004 Pilot A Success
Student Response: Overwhelmingly the class of 2004 gained from the mentor experience
• “provided a great LFM network and a different perspective on future career concerns”
• “gave me a lead within an industry sector that I’m interested”
• “the alumni mentoring pilot is awesome”
Alumni Response: Interest from alumni was strong
• “What a great experience. Sign me up for next year!”
• “I would be delighted to be a mentor to Karen…this sounds like a great opportunity for both parties”
Alumni Mentoring – The Possibilities for 2005
• Based on feedback from the 2004 Pilot participants:
Worked Really Well
• Personal pairings based on strong knowledge of students and alums
• Enthusiasm from both alums and students
• Keeping it limited to those with strong interest
• Informal structure – pros and cons, but on the whole a positive
Possible Enhancements
• Resume swap to accompany introduction letter
• Solicitation of interest at alumni conference
• Match across key interests:
• industry
• location
