Spotlight on: The Fordham Alumni Mentoring Program

It's that time of year again.. time to join the Fordham Alumni Mentoring Program!

What is it?

Interested students will be paired with young alumni in their respective fields of interest. The relationships cultivated give students an opportunity to network with the young professionals with similar career interests as themselves, and gain insight into their field! Mentors provide invaluable career guidance to mentees throughout this unique networking opportunity.  

The Fordham Alumni Mentoring Program is beneficial for students in all stages of their career development process. Having an alumni mentor who has gone down a similar path of career exploration will undoubtedly enhance the student’s ability to develop personal career goals.   Mentors and mentees meet informally throughout the program based on shared goals and expectations. 

Get Involved!
