Alumni-Student Mentor Program – A perfect match

Twenty-eight CEHD undergraduate students in kinesiology, family social science, and human resource development were matched with professionals in their fields of study as part of the 2006-07 Mentor Connection program. From November until mid-April 2007, the students will meet with their mentors to learn about their chosen careers. Students will find out about networking, job interviewing, resume writing, what it takes to be a professional, and get other helpful advice. Mentors will host the students at their job site and introduce them to other professionals.

The Mentor Program is jointly sponsored by the University of Minnesota Alumni Association, the college’s Alumni Society and Alumni Relations Office, and the college’s career services office. To find out how you can volunteer to be a mentor for the 2008-09 academic year, contact Heather Peña at 612-626-8782 or hpena@umn.edu.
