Presented by Angelina Jaroszewski, Katherine Snyder, and Kathleen Zimmer-Oster 

This session will demonstrate how faculty members have integrated successful student/alumni mentoring activities into their academic programs. Attendees will see the positive impact simple interactions can have on student success first-hand and have the chance to review a variety of mentoring formats available to everyone on campus through the university’s networking platform, Forever Titans. Whether faculty would like to invite guest lecturers, create short-term partnerships, plan long-term mentor pairings, or schedule lunch and learn panels, the Alumni Relations team can meet faculty needs. Participants will learn how they can take advantage of systems already in place.
