CEHD Mentoring Opportunities

Ways for Alumni to Get Involved

Informational Interviews

Connect with a current student. Informational interviews, generally 20-30 minutes in length, allow a student to gain an inside view into your particular industry area and hear your first hand experiences. Meet in person or discuss through e-mail or over the phone.

Career Panels

Share your experience with students by participating on a career panel (located on campus).

Mock Interviews

Volunteer as the interviewer for student mock interviews. Ask students commonly asked questions and provide feedback.

Presentations

Classroom and student groups: Visit a class or student group to share information about your career area.

Alumni to call admitted students

Help welcome newly admitted CEHD students into the college. A personal call form an alumni can go a long way in helping a student decide to attend the University of Minnesota. Training is provided.
