Alumni Pay it Forward to Help Students
| |
Last month, alumni mentors and Schulich students participated in our first virtual round of Alumni2Student Speed Networking events on August 21 and 26. These online meetups provided alumni and students with a chance to meet 'face-to-face' in small networking groups in rotating breakout rooms in Zoom. This same format will be used in the return of our virtual Speed Networking Reception on Friday, October 2, 2020, at 12:00 pm EDT.
This month, Schulich Students will continue to join the Mentorship program by completing a two-part orientation series, preparing students to effectively network and connect with alumni mentors. Be sure to check for Mentoring Relationship Requests on the Mentor tab at www.schulichalumniconnect.com
