Career Connections: Alumni Online Mentoring
Career Connections is an online career mentoring program that provides an opportunity for alumni volunteers to connect with students and other alumni through e-mail or phone conversations. Mentors can assist students with their career exploration and help them through the job search process.

Mentors can:
- Help develop a clear perspective about a career field
- Provide information about a particular company or organization
- Give advice about the best methods for entering a career field
- Offer advice for resume development and networking
- Offer a day of shadowing
